Managing Appliances

Review the following recommendations and cautions prior to restoring the file system:

Make sure that you know the passwords used in the backup configuration. Once the backup image is restored on the appliance, you must use the passwords from the backup configuration to log in.

After restoring the file system, redeploy policies to the ETEP using ETPM to ensure that the appliance is using the current set of policies and keys.

The restore operation replaces the current certificate with the backup certificate. If you replaced a certificate after the backup image was created, you will need to reinstall that certificate after the file system is restored. Failure to do so can result in a communication failure between the ETEP and the

ETKMS.

To restore the appliance file system from a backup copy:

1In the Appliance Manager, select the target appliances in the Appliances view.

2On the Tools menu, click Restore from Backup. Click OK to confirm the action. The appliance will automatically reboot to complete the restore operation.

3Redeploy policies to the ETEP using ETPM to ensure that the appliance uses the current set of policies and keys.
