Reimage K2 Summit/Solo system

Do this task for both software and CPU carrier module upgrade kits.

  • Settings must be saved using the ssave.bat script.
  • Hardware must be replaced, as supplied by your upgrade kit.
  • Cables must be reconnected.
  • The iSCSI-SVR (FSM TOE) licenses must be backed up prior to reimaging the file system server (FSM).

  1. If you have not already done so, connect keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
  2. Do the following:
    1. Insert the Recovery Flash Drive into a USB port.
    2. Restart the machine, or power on if currently shut down. The machine boots from the Recovery Flash Drive, into a version of Windows stored on the drive. A MS-DOS command window opens.
    3. When prompted with a list of options, type 2 to select the Acronis option and then press Enter.
    The Acronis program loads.
  3. In the Acronis main window, click Recovery. The Restore Data Wizard opens.
  4. On the Welcome page, click Next.
  5. On the Backup Archive Selection page, do the following:
    1. In the tree view expand the node for Computer/SummitBoot9_0_2_1803(D:). This is the Recovery Flash Drive.
    2. In the Images folder, select the correct version of the image file such as Summit_WES7_7.0.13.tib.
    3. Click Next.
  6. On the Restoration Type Selection page, select Restore disks or partitions and then click Next.
  7. On the Partition or Disk to Restore page, select MBR and Track 0 and then click Next.
  8. On the Disk Selection page, select Disk 1 and then click Next.
    Note: Verify capacity to make sure you select the boot media card (CompactFlash or mSATA) and not a media drive. The boot media has a much smaller capacity and has an interface identified as "IDE (0) Primary Master".
  9. On the Next Selection page, select Yes, I want to restore another partition or hard disk drive and then click Next.
  10. On the Partition or Disk to Restore page, select (C:) and then click Next.
  11. On the Restored Partitions Resizing page, select Yes, I want to resize partitions and then click Next.
  12. On the Restored Location page, select (C:) and then click Next.
    Note: Verify capacity to make sure you select the boot media card (CompactFlash or mSATA) and not a media drive. The boot media has a much smaller capacity and has an interface identified as "IDE (0) Primary Master".
  13. On the Restored Partition Type page, select Active and then click Next.
  14. Do one of the following:
    • If the Restored Partition Size page does not appear. Skip ahead to the Next Selection page.
    • If the Restored Partition Size page appears. Continue with the next step.
  15. On the Restored Partition Size page, do one of the following:
    • If Free space after reports 0 bytes, leave settings as they are. Click Next.
    • If Free space after does not report 0 bytes, increase Partition size until Free space after reports 0 bytes. Click Next.
  16. On the Next Selection page, select No, I do not and then click Next.
  17. On the Restoration Options page, do not make any selections. Click Next.
  18. On the “…ready to proceed…” page, verify that you are restoring the correct image to the correct location. Click Proceed.
  19. On the Operation Progress page, observe the progress report.
  20. When a message appears indicating a successful recovery, click OK.
  21. Click Operations | Exit to exit the Acronis True Image program. The machine restarts automatically.
  22. Remove the recovery media while the machine is shutting down.
  23. Upon startup, wait for initialization processes to complete. This can take several minutes, during which time USB keyboard/mouse input is not operational. The system might automatically restart. Do not attempt to shutdown or otherwise interfere with initialization processes.
  24. When prompted, enter the K2 Summit system machine name. Make sure the name is identical to the name it previously had. After start up, one or more device discovery windows can open. Allow processes to complete without interference. Refer to Release Notes for informaion on compatible driver versions. If a Fibre Channel card driver, ignore until instructed later in this process. At first start up after reimage, the system is in Embedded Security Update mode by default.

Next, restore settings.
