How to Determine if a Patch Supports Rollback Before Applying It

Overview

Before applying a patch, it is crucial to check whether it supports rollback. This ensures that you can revert changes if needed, preventing potential system disruptions. Follow the steps below to determine rollback availability in Saner CVEM.

Steps to Check Rollback Availability

1. Log in to Saner CVEM.
2. Navigate to the Patch Management Module.
3. Go to the Missing Patches section.
4. Check the Rollbackcolumn for the patch status:
   • FALSE – Rollback is not applicable. Once applied, the patch cannot be reverted.
     
   • TRUE – Rollback is applicable. You can revert the patch after applying it if needed.
     

Best Practices

• Always verify whether a patch supports rollback before applying it.
• Test the patch in a non-production environment before deploying it in a live system.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth patching process while maintaining system stability.
