After you download and mount the ISO image, you are ready to invoke the restore
process. If you are restoring an appliance to a different major version from the
version currently installed on the appliance, a two-pass restore process is
required. The first pass updates the operating system, and the second pass
installs the new version of the system software.
First Pass of Two (Changing Major Versions Only)
When restoring an appliance to a different major version, a first pass by the
restore utility updates the appliance’s operating system, and, if necessary, the
restore utility itself.
IMPORTANT!
If you are restoring an appliance to the same major version, or if
this is your second pass through the process, skip to the next procedure:
To perform the first pass of a two-pass restore process:

When prompted (twice), confirm that you want to reboot the appliance.
IMPORTANT!
For appliances you are restoring using an external USB drive, if
the drive has a restore utility associated with a different version of the
system, you must update the utility on the drive to continue. When
prompted, type
yes
to update the utility (and delete any saved restore
configurations). Then, confirm that you want to reboot from the updated
drive. If you do not update the USB drive, the appliance reboots. You cannot
restore the appliance using this drive.
