How to restore a GigaStor probe to factory settings
Restoring a GigaStor to factory settings is usually a last resort when all other
methods to correct the issue have failed and should only be done under the
direction of VIAVI Technical Support.
Prerequisite(s):
All captured packets and trending data on the GigaStor RAID are safe. Nothing on
the RAID (D:\) is affected by this process. Only the operating system (C:\) drive is
touched.
Caution: All settings, configuration data, and files on the operating
system drive of the GigaStor are deleted during the restore. This includes
passwords, IP addresses, domain information, etc.
These items are required for the restore process:
