Patches That Support Uninstall
Uninstalling specific patches can cause issues on Firepower appliances, including:
-
Inability to deploy configuration changes after uninstall.
-
Incompatibilities between the operating system and the Firepower software.
-
FSIC (file system integrity check) failure when the appliance reboots, if you patched with security certifications compliance enabled (CC/UCAPL mode).
Caution |
If security certifications compliance is enabled and the FSIC fails, Firepower software does not start, remote SSH access is disabled, and you can access the appliance only via local console. If this happens, contact Cisco TAC. |
If uninstall will cause one of these issues, we recommend you reimage and then upgrade to your desired patch level.
