Note
Obtain the Restore ISO and Update Files
Before you begin
Cisco provides ISO images for restoring appliances to their original factory settings. Before you restore an
appliance, obtain the correct ISO image from the Support Site as described here.
Procedure
Step 1
Using the username and password for your support account, log into the Support Site at
autho/forms/CDClogin.html.
Step 2
Browse to the software download section at: https://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html.
Step 3
Enter a search string in the Find area on the page that appears for the system software you want to download
and install.
Step 4
Find the image (ISO image) that you want to download. You can click one of the links on the left side of the
page to view the appropriate section of the page.
Example:
Click 6.3.0 to view the images and release notes for Version 6.3.0 of the system.
Step 5
Click the ISO image you want to download.
The file begins downloading.
Step 6
Copy the files to an HTTP (web) server, FTP server, or SCP-enabled host that the appliance can access on its
management network.
Caution
Start the Restore Utility Using KVM or Physical Serial Port
For management centers, Cisco provides a restore utility on an internal flash drive.
Before you begin
Be sure you have completed the appropriate previous steps in the restore process as described in
Management Center to its Factory Defaults, on page
Restoring the appliance to factory defaults also resets LOM settings. After you complete the initial setup
process, do one of the following:
• If you want to use a serial or SOL/LOM connection to access your appliance's console, redirect console
output; see
Redirect Console Output, on page
• If you want to use LOM, you must re-enable the feature, as well as enable at least one LOM user. For
more information, see
Set Up Lights-Out Management, on page
Do not transfer ISO or update files using email; the files can become corrupted. Also, do not change
the names of the files; the restore utility requires that they be named as they are on the Support Site.
