Reverting to an Older Grid Configuration

Use this procedure if you need to revert a grid to an older version of the grid configuration.

Note: This is a feature that should be used with care. If you have saved a new version of the configuration and you realize that it was not want you wanted, it is most likely safe to revert to the previous version.

However, if you want to restore a version of the configuration that is several versions old, you must be very careful. When restoring such a version, any configuration changes done in intermediate versions will be lost even though you may want to keep some of them. It is strongly recommended that you view the changes of all intermediate versions to see what changes were made in each and, based on that review, decide if it is safe to revert the configuration to this version. If you decide to revert, you may have to manually redo some of the configuration changes that you lost but actually wanted to keep.
