Looking for a proceduire to downgrade from OXE7.1 to 6.2

[cavagnaro]

lol
Here we go again....i will call you roberto2 lol

I wonder how in heaven you ended with a OXE in your hands? Do you have any OXE Training? As you don't even know where to find a 6.2 version or how to install one for me you are completely disqualified for doing such job, next post from you will be how to configure the OXE.

As we say, a lot of patiente and a big smile

[frank]

If I can add on Cavagnaro post, and with all my respect to you .... If you don't know how to install an OXE, dont even bother going further. The basic administration after installation will be a nightmare for you. Whoever sold you this box has access to the business partner website, where they can download the 6.2 and do the installation for you. Contact your vendor.

Whoever sold you this box

Should be shot

Sorry to bother you guys, fantastic worldwide experts full of knowledge & confidence.
For poor, stupid people like me, not part of "deus ex machina", let's please follow my topic, maybe in the future some other people will face the same issue.
By considering further this point, it is not mandatory to use swinst tool.
You just have to perform the following commands:
- login to OXE
- enter as root

On the PC used for PC installer:
- Start the PC installer & store a complete version of Linux + release OXE 6.2 (F3301 unzipped file) under your PC folder "C:\dhs3mgr".
- Start PC installer select Linux + tel (beware to use a static @IP)

On OXE:
Enter grubboot ETHER

The oxe will reboot & will load on the active partition the 6.2 release brand new.
Perform it once again in order to load OXE Patches.

Unfortunately I didn't try it yet, if someone can confirm that I am on the right way ? & the procedure is complete

Sorry to disturb our outstanding experts once again, feel free to repeat that I do not disserve your consideration if you think it helps.

It seems like you have learnt something, us 'experts' have taken years of studying and attending training courses and leaving our family at the same time to earn the pennies/sheckles/cents/shillings that we do, in a few simple minutes.

Seriously speaking - you are on the right track and your instructions will load the software. Once you have done that, you are welcome to come back, having done your next piece of research and ask if your next steps are correct.

It seems that you have done some homework and for that reason, and that reason alone, I am happy to TRY and answer your queries.

It seems we are the stupid the ones - this so called 'deus ex machina' sucks. I want to learn the 'yjezeque' way. At least my family will see me more often

[cavagnaro]

Well have to congrat too to yjezeque at least he searched don't know if inspired by the rage of our answers or not, but he read.
As knight said, we will be happy to answer your nexts "is this ok" questions.
also agree with knight on the 'deus ex machina' phrase. My girlfriend and ex's that broke with me because too much traveling will be happy now if i knew there was a so easy way lol. or slap me? lol

Why such animosity??? I don't understand???:shock:

Sounds like you got it yjezeque. The worst you can do is screw up the 7.1 release that's on there and have to start from scratch. You have no existing database so you have no worries.

Like I said in my previous reply, you may also load this on the inactive partition.

Login to swinst>expert menu>deliveries installation>delivery from server>"your host name or IP address"

It will ask you which partition to install on.

NOTE: your host name with IP address must be in the hosts file whether you use name or IP, this is managed under netadmin -m

This way you will still have the R7.1 on the call server for later use.

It may be of benefit to do the grubboot ETHER so you can get your feet wet.

Regards

yjezeque - my advice for you - ask someone with good knowledge (Enterprise, PC Installer ..) to help you. For this procedure (install R6.2) you need soft (f.e. f3.301.30), you MUST save you OPS files.
Install software - very easy operation, only one problem - what you will do if something happen?
From my practice, funny case - was erased BIOS on CPU, old board not work (need manual flashing), system not work (SW was saved with errors, some files was absent), in system exist some hardware not compatible with previous release....
But you can try (my advice - take another HDD).
