Re-initializing ASM restores the ASM to an unconfigured state, replacing all software and settings with the image in the Updating the ASM Recovery Partition Partition .

This operation is typically useful when a Lync SBA needs to be re-deployed, for disaster recovery, or as a means of clearing all software and configuration. Sometimes, it is also used in conjunction after Updating the ASM Recovery Partition in order to load updated software onto the ASM.

...

In addition to the image loaded onto the ASM recovery partition by Sonus, visit the Sonus Ribbon SBC Edge Download Center for other image types:

• Lync 2013 RBA image, which allows use of the ASM in an RBA HQ-Side SBC or QoE Agent Server SBC (see Configuring the RBA 3G4G Feature or Configuring the QoE Feature).
• Windows Server image, which allows use of the ASM as a customer-maintained server.
