Backup and Recovery Procedures
Step 4 When the device completes the boot sequence, you are prompted to enter the username to access the CLI.
Enter the default administrator username (admin).
Cisco Service Engine Console
Username: admin
Step 5 When you see the CLI prompt, set the password for the user using the username password command
in global configuration mode.
ServiceEngine# configure
ServiceEngine(config)# username admin password 0 password
You can specify that the password be either clear text or encrypted. The password strength must be a
combination of alphabetic character, at least one number, at least one special character, and at least one
uppercase character.
Note Do not set the user ID (uid).
Step 6 Save the configuration change by using the write memory command in EXEC mode.
ServiceEngine(config)# exit
ServiceEngine# write memory
Step 7 Optionally, reboot your device by using the reload command.
ServiceEngine# reload
Rebooting is optional; however, you might want to reboot to ensure that the boot flags are reset, and to
ensure that subsequent console administrator logins do not bypass the password check.
Note In CDS software, the bootflags are reset to 0x0 on every reboot.
Recovering from Missing Disk-Based Software
This section describes the recovery procedures to use if for some reason the software installation on both
system disks is corrupt or missing.
There are two types of disk volumes in the CDS: sysfs and cdnfs. A disk is either allocated as a sysfs
disk or a cdnfs disk. The sysfs, or system volumes, contain data and applications that are critical to the
system’s basic functionality.
The sysfs volumes are stored in a two-disk RAID-1 (mirrored) array. RAID-1 duplicates data between
each of the disks in the array. The two-disk scheme allows for either of the drives in the sysfs volumes
array to fail without sustaining data loss or incurring system errors.
The status of the volumes can be seen through the show disk raid-state command, and can be in any of
the following states:
• Normal—Both drives are attached, and data is mirrored between them.
• Syncing—Data is being copied between the drives to restore the volumes to a normal state. This
typically happens when a new drive is added to repair degraded volumes.
