Purpose
Install firmware and restore the appliance
to a near-factory-fresh state.
Syntax
firmware
pristine-install image
Parameters
- image
- Firmware image to be
installed, in the form of an scrypt2 file
Usage Notes
- The pristine-install command
installs the new
firmware image without copying over configuration or data files copied
over on a typical firmware upgrade.
- The pristine-install command
can be used to
install an older version of firmware on the appliance.
- The pristine-install command
can also be used
to attempt recovery in error situations where less disruptive methods
do not succeed.
- The appliance is rebooted as part of this
operation, so network
connectivity is disrupted. Therefore, it is recommended that this
command be typically run from the serial console.
