After you configure the management IP address that the restore process will use
to download files it needs, you must identify which ISO image you will use to
restore the appliance. This is the ISO image that you downloaded from the
Support Site (see
Obtaining the Restore ISO and Update Files on page 201), and
stored on a web server, FTP server, or SCP-enabled host.
The interactive menu prompts you to enter any necessary information to
complete the download, as listed in the following table.
Note that the restore utility will also look for update files in the ISO image
directory.
