You use the appliance management interface to restore the system from a backup file. The restore operation is used in cases where the system has become corrupt or unusable due to resource or system failures.
This operation restores the appliance to the state it was in at the time of the backup. The contents of the backup file supersede configuration changes made before restoring the appliance.
Note: A restored HCX Manager cannot connect to HCX service appliances that were created during a time after the backup file was generated.
Prerequisites
You have deployed a replacement system that is clean of prior configuration settings. The replacement system has the same software version and IP address as the original system.
Note:
A clean system deployment requires only the minimum configuration to be manageable and that the system is network reachable from the operator or client system.
