You can reset the software image of your Streamvault appliance to its default state using a USB recovery drive.

What you should know

  • Resetting deletes all the data currently on the System (OS) drive.
  • Resetting does not affect the factory default RAID drive settings.
  • Resetting might fail if the hard drives, RAID drives, or partitions on the appliance have been changed from the factory default settings. If this is the case, contact the Genetec™ Technical Assistance Center (GTAC).
