Hi,
We are using ACS version 4.2 / 4.9 on our test environment. We are using
Ubuntu 12.04 as the operating system and KVM as the hypervisor.
We are trying to simulate an upgrade from ACS 4.2 to 4.9 and roll-back from
4.9 to 4.2 on our test environment. The upgrade went smooth, and the
roll-back went well as well except when we need to start the agent after
downgrading the agent.
After uninstalling cloudstack-agent version 4.9 and installing back
cloudstack-agent version 4.2, I am not able to start the agent with below
error messages:

It seems that the error messages are complaining about no physical
interface being added into cloud0 and virbr0 bridges. I tried to add eth1,
cloudbr1 into the bridges but it didn't work. Deleting the cloud0 and
virbr0 bridges doesn't help either, agent is still complaining about cannot
find "pifs":

I understand that the required bridge information is supposed to be added
by CloudStack during the time when the host is added. Is there a way how I
can add the bridge information again manually without having to delete and
re-add the host into CloudStack? The reason is because we want to keep the
VMs running during the downgrade, deleting and re-adding the host into
CloudStack will shutdown the VMs.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
