Qlogic Driver downgrade problem

[Fayez]

Dears,

We have been asked to downgrade the HBA driver from 9.1.9.25 to 9.1.7.16 or 9.1.8.25, the problem is whenever we uninstall the driver, the windows recognizes it again and install it automatically.

We tried to delete its files manually from the windows directory, but with no luck, again the driver installed automatically (9.1.9.25). This problem happened on many Blade servers (BL460c, BL480c) with Windows 2008 and Windows 2003 OS.

Can anyone help us with the right procedure for the downgrade?

Find the Driver you want and execute the CPXXXXXX.exe file with /force

in cmd

cp00000000.exe /force
