Select a display mode for the restore utility's interactive menu:
—
For a keyboard and monitor connection, type
—
For a serial or SOL/LOM connection, type
If you do not select a display mode, the restore utility defaults to the standard console after 30 seconds.
Unless this is the first time you have restored the appliance to this major version, the utility automatically loads
the last restore configuration you used. To continue, confirm the settings in a series of pages.

Second or Only Pass
Use the following procedure to perform the second or only pass through the restore process.
To perform the second or only pass through the restore process:
1.
If you are performing the second pass of a two-pass restore process, download and mount the ISO image
again, as described in
2.
From the restore utility main menu, select
3.
Confirm that you want to restore the appliance and continue with the next step.
4.
Choose whether you want to delete the appliance's license and network settings. Deleting these settings also
resets display (console) and LOM settings.
In most cases, you do not want to delete these settings, because it can make the initial setup process shorter.
Changing settings after the restore and subsequent initial setup is often less time consuming than trying to
reset them now. For more information, see
Caution:
Do not delete the network settings if you are restoring the appliance using a LOM connection. After
you reboot the appliance, you will be unable to reconnect via LOM.
5.
Type your final confirmation that you want to restore the appliance.
The final stage of the restore process begins. When it completes, if prompted, confirm that you want to reboot
the appliance.
Caution:
Make sure you allow sufficient time for the restore process to complete. On appliances with internal
flash drives, the utility first updates the flash drive, which is then used to perform other restore tasks. If you
quit (by pressing Ctrl + C, for example) during the flash update, you could cause an unrecoverable error. If
you think the restore is taking too long or you experience any other issues with the process, do not quit.
Instead, contact Support.
Note:
Reimaging resets appliances in bypass mode to a non-bypass configuration and disrupts traffic on your
network until you reconfigure bypass mode. For more information, see
