About saving and restoring settings while reimaging
If you are reimaging a K2 Summit 3G system with a generic disk image, you can run scripts to save
the media file system and other settings before the reimage, then restore the settings after the reimage.
Setting are saved and restored as follows:
• Media file system (SNFS): You run scripts to save and restore these settings. After the settings
are restored, on a standalone system you can access the media in the local media storage. On a
SAN-attached system, K2Config settings are restored so you can access media on the shared
media storage.
• SID, computer name, and network settings: You run the script to save settings to a text file, so
you can manually reconfigure as desired after the reimage.
If the media file system and settings are valid (not corrupt) on the K2 Summit 3G system before the
reimage, it is recommended that you use the save/restore scripts to save your media and settings,
thus saving time in the reimage process. However, if the media file system or settings are corrupt
and your purpose for reimaging is to remove the corruption, it is likely that you do not want to use
the save/restore scripts.
Saving settings before generic reimage
1. If you are working on a K2 client SAN-attached system, on the K2 SAN’s control point PC, use
the K2Config application to remove the K2 client system from the SAN.
2. Make sure you are logged in to the K2 Summit 3G system with administrator privileges.
3. Connect the USB Recovery Flash Drive to a USB port on the K2 Summit 3G system.
4. On the USB Recovery Flash Drive, navigate to the following location:
\tools\SaveRestoreScripts.
5. Run the following and wait for the process to complete:
ssave.bat
This saves current settings onto the USB Recovery Flash Drive in the \settings directory.
6. Disconnect the USB Recovery Flash Drive.
Restoring from a generic image
This task can be used on a K2 Summit 3G system that needs to be restored to its factory default
state. For example, if you neglected to make a first birthday image, you might need to use this
procedure. If the image from which you are restoring was made from the specific machine, refer to
the appropriate procedure.
This task provides instructions for accessing an image on the Recovery Flash Drive. If you access
an image from a different location, such as a network connected drive or another connected USB
drive, alter the steps in this task as appropriate. There can be multiple versions of the generic recovery
disk image on the Recovery Flash Drive. Refer to related topics in "K2 Release Notes" to determine
which version you should use.
