Chapter 3 CLI Commands
restore
By removing the WAAS Central Manager database, all configuration records for the entire WAAS
network are deleted. If you do not have a valid backup file or a standby WAAS Central Manager, you
must reregister every WAE with the WAAS Central Manager because all previously configured data is
lost.
If you used your standby WAAS Central Manager to store the database while you reconfigured the
primary, you can register the former primary as a new standby WAAS Central Manager.
If you created a backup file while you configured the primary WAAS Central Manager, you can copy the
backup file to this newly reconfigured WAAS Central Manager.
Rolling Back the Configuration
You can roll back the software and configuration of a WAAS device to a previous version using the
restore rollback command. You would roll back the software only in cases in which a newly installed
version of the WAAS software is not functioning properly.
The restore rollback command installs the last saved WAAS.bin image on the system disk. A WAAS.bin
image is created during software installation and stored on the system disk. If the WAAS device does
not have a saved version, the software is not rolled back.
Note WAFS to WAAS migration is supported. Rollback from WAAS to WAFS is not supported.
Examples The following examples show how to use the restore factory-default and restore factory-default
preserve basic-config commands. Because configuration parameters and data are lost, prompts are
given before initiating the restore operation to ensure that you want to proceed.
WAE# restore factory-default
This command will wipe out all of data on the disks
and wipe out WAAS CLI configurations you have ever made.
If the box is in evaluation period of certain product,
the evaluation process will not be affected though.
It is highly recommended that you stop all active services
before this command is run.
Are you sure you want to go ahead?[yes/no]
WAE# restore factory-default preserve basic-config
This command will wipe out all of data on the disks
and all of WAAS CLI configurations except basic network
configurations for keeping the device online.
The to-be-preserved configurations are network interfaces,
default gateway, domain name, name server and hostname.
If the box is in evaluation period of certain product,
the evaluation process will not be affected.
It is highly recommended that you stop all active services
before this command is run.
Are you sure you want to go ahead?[yes/no]
Note You can enter basic configuration parameters (such as the IP address, hostname, and name server) at this
point, or you can enter these parameters later through entries in the command-line interface.
The following example shows how to verify that the restore command has removed data from the
SYSFS, WAAS, and PRINTSPOOLFS partitioned file systems:
