System Reset Options
Often the first thing to try in resolving anomalous behavior on a Snap Server is to
reset the server to factory defaults. This section provides information about the
following ways to reinstall or reset the system defaults.
• Maintenance Mode
• Resetting the Snap Server to Factory Defaults
• Performing System Resets Without Network Access
Maintenance Mode
You will encounter the Snap Server maintenance mode when the GuardianOS has
been compromised and is in need of repair or reinstallation. Maintenance mode
consists of a series of HTML screens that allow you to perform the following
functions:
• Upgrade/Repair —
Either upgrades the GuardianOS from one version to
another, or applies the GuardianOSImage
,
but preserves system settings.
• Fresh install —
Reinstalls the GuardianOS, overwriting any previous
configurations and destroying all disk partitions.
Note
To install the GuardianOS, you must obtain the appropriate
GuardianOSImage file. This file is available from the user CD provided with your
Snap Server, or has been provided as a download if you have upgraded to this
release version.
Resetting the Snap Server to Factory Defaults
The GuardianOS allows you to reset different components of the system. Default
settings can be found in the default configuration sections of Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of
this Guide.
Caution
Each reset option requires a reboot of the server. To prevent possible data
corruption or loss, make sure all users are disconnected from the Snap Server before
proceeding.
Navigate to the
Maintenance > Factory Defaults
screen, select one of the following
options, and then click
OK
:
•
Reset Network Configuration To Factory Defaults
Returns TCP/IP and other
protocol settings to factory defaults.
