Chapter 1 Maintaining Your WAAS System
Backing Up and Restoring your WAAS System
Step 4 Choose option 2 to prepare the flash memory.
This step prepares a cookie for the device and also retrieves the network configuration that was being
used by the WAAS software. This network configuration is stored in the flash memory and is used to
configure the network when the WAAS software boots up after installation.
Step 5 Choose option 3 to install the flash cookie that you prepared in the previous step.
Step 6 Choose option 5 to install the flash image from a CD-ROM or USB flash drive.
Step 7 (Optional) If you are working with a WAE-674, WAE-7341, WAE-7371, WAVE-7541, WAVE-7571, or
WAVE-8541 device, choose option 7 to recreate the RAID array.
Step 8 Choose option 8 to wipe the disks and install the binary image.
This step prepares the disks by erasing them. The WAAS software image is installed.
Step 9 If you are using a USB flash drive to install the software, remove it from the device.
Step 10 Choose option 9 to reboot the WAE.
After the WAE reboots, it is running the newly installed WAAS software. The WAE has a minimal
network configuration and is accessible via the terminal console for further configuration.
To reinstall the system software on an NME-WAE network module installed in a Cisco access router,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the Cisco router in which the NME-WAE module is installed, and reload the NME-WAE
module:
router-2851> enable
router-2851# service-module integrated-Service-Engine 1/0 reload
Step 2 Immediately open a session on the module:
router-2851# service-module integrated-Service-Engine 1/0 session
Step 3 While the module is reloading, you will see the following option during boot phase 3. Enter *** as
instructed:
[BOOT-PHASE3]: enter `***' for rescue image: ***
Step 4 The rescue image dialog appears. The following example demonstrates how to interact with the rescue
dialog (user input is denoted by entries in bold typeface):
This is the rescue image. The purpose of this software is to let
you install a new system image onto your system's boot flash
device. This software has been invoked either manually
(if you entered `***' to the bootloader prompt) or has been
invoked by the bootloader if it discovered that your system image
in flash had been corrupted.
To download an image from network, this software will request
the following information from you:
- which network interface to use
- IP address and netmask for the selected interface
- default gateway IP address
- FTP server IP address
- username and password on FTP server
- path to system image on server
Please enter an interface from the following list:
0: GigabitEthernet 1/0
