Restoring the System to a Snapshot

The process to restore a system to a snapshot differs depending on whether you are using a Junos Space VM or a Junos Space Appliance.

To restore a system snapshot when using a Junos Space Virtual Appliance:

  1. Select Administration > Fabric. Click the System Snapshot icon.
  2. Click Restore.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Log in to the ESX servers and power on the virtual machine after a few minutes.
Note:

If the Junos Space GUI is not accessible on a virtual machine, you can restore the fabric by shutting down every node in the fabric and logging in to ESX servers where the virtual machine is located.

To restore a system snapshot when using a Junos Space Appliance:

  1. Select Administration > Fabric. Click the System Snapshot icon.

  2. Click Restore.

    The System Restore Instruction for Appliance dialog box appears.

  3. Follow the instructions on this dialog box.

  4. Click OK.

Note:

You may not be able to restore the system to a snapshot if one of the following conditions is true:

  • One of the nodes is down.

  • New nodes were added after a snapshot was created. A warning message that prompts you to delete the new nodes before restoring is shown.

  • Some nodes were deleted after a snapshot was created. A warning message that prompts you to restore the nodes before restoring is shown.
