Step 8
You have two options based on the software version to which you are restoring the appliance:
• If you are restoring the system to a different major version, perform the two-pass restore process:
a. The first pass updates the restore image. See
b. The second pass installs the new version of the system software. See
• If you are restoring the system to the same major version, you need only install the new version of the
system software. See
What to do next
Restoring your management center to factory default settings results in the loss of almost all configuration
and event data on the appliance, including console display settings.
• If you did not delete the appliance's license and network settings, you can use a computer on your
management network to browse directly to the appliance's web interface to perform the setup.
For more information, see the setup process appropriate to your version:
• For versions 6.5 and later, see
• For Versions - 6.4x, see
• If you deleted license and network settings, you must configure the appliance as if it were new, beginning
with configuring it to communicate on your management network.
For more information, see the setup process appropriate to your version:
• For versions 6.5 and later, see
• For Versions - 6.4x, see
• If you deregistered the management center from the Cisco Smart Software Manager, register the appliance
to the Cisco Smart Software Manager. Choose System > Licenses > Smart Licenses and click the
register icon.
