required. The first pass updates the operating system, and the second pass 

installs the new version of the system software.

First Pass of Two (Changing Major Versions Only)

When restoring an appliance to a different major version, a first pass by the 

restore utility updates the appliance’s operating system, and, if necessary, the 

restore utility itself.

If you are restoring an appliance to the same major version, or if 

this is your second pass through the process, skip to the next procedure: 

To perform the first pass of a two-pass restore process:

: Admin

1. From the main menu, select 5 Run the Install.
2. When prompted (twice), confirm that you want to reboot the appliance.

For appliances you are restoring using an external USB drive, if 

the drive has a restore utility associated with a different version of the 

system, you must update the utility on the drive to continue. When 

prompted, type 

yes

 to update the utility (and delete any saved restore 

configurations). Then, confirm that you want to reboot from the updated 

drive. If you do not update the USB drive, the appliance reboots. You cannot 

restore the appliance using this drive.

3. Monitor the reboot and invoke the restore process again:

For a keyboard and monitor connection, a red LILO boot menu appears. 

Quickly press one of the arrow keys to prevent the appliance from 

booting the currently installed version of the system. 

For a serial or SOL/LOM connection, when you see the BIOS boot 

options, press Tab slowly and repeatedly until the LILO boot prompt 

appears: 

LILO 22.8 boot:
