    When CSM upgrades the database may be upgraded depending on the release. So as a rule we do not allow you to downgrade CSM even when not running on the 8k HMC. Customers can run the Make Backup option to keep backups at the various levels however it would currently take a PFE to apply the older backup db to the HMC as CSM cannot upload files to the HMC.

    Will need to try to work with the DS8000 team to see if there is a way to provide this request. But due to security concerns there may not be.
