In case of system crash, the Recovery ISO image can be used to bring back the system to normal state.
The ISO image prompts you to select one of the following options:
· Factory
· Recovery
If you select the Factory option, the existing system is uninstalled completely and a new image is installed without any license. You can retrieve the original licenses by restoring the ICPAM database.
If you select the Recovery option, the following happens:
· The ICPAM database and ICPAM software are retained.
· A fresh operating system is installed and the existing password is replaced by cpamadmin. This is provided as the password for the webadmin utility, the ICPAM client, and the SSH. (You are allowed to change the password later.)
· The ETH0 IP address is retained but the rest of the NIC configuration must be configured manually. After reconfiguring, the network and the immortal services must be restarted.
· The DNS server requires reconfiguration using the webadmin utility.
· For a High Availability system with dual servers, the server which is recovered is the standby server.
· RPM is not uninstalled in the recovered server. So, for a fresh ICPAM image to be installed, you must select the Factory option (when prompted by the recovery ISO image).
