Description

Step 1

Perform a re-image of the appliance using the USB drive.

Re-imaging an appliance from the USB drive returns your appliance to a clean and unconfigured state.

Step 2

Perform an initial configuration of the appliance.

Configure the appliance as you would a new configuration.

Veritas recommends that you record all of your initial configuration information so that you can reference that information during the configuration process.

For a 52xx appliance, see the "Initial Configuration" chapter of the NetBackup 52xx Initial Configuration Guide for more information on setting up your 52xx appliance and attached storage systems.

For a 5330 appliance, see the "Initial Configuration" chapter of the NetBackup 5330 Initial Configuration Guide for more information on setting up your 5330 appliance and attached storage systems.

Step 3

Recover the data from a secondary backup site.

If you have a secondary backup site, Veritas Technical Support will help you work through recovering your data from a secondary backup site.
