Note
For any reason, if you wish to re-install the SBC Application, take a back-up of the application to restore it when needed. The back-up backup files can now be stored in an external sourcespace.

Note

Re-installing a SBC system from an ".iso" image followed by restoring SBC configuration from a tar.gz backup file may lead to loss of encrypted configuration parameters in the following scenarios: re-installing a standalone SBC from an ".iso" image followed by restoring SBC configuration from a "tar.gz" backup file re-installing both nodes in an HA SBC pair from an ".iso" image followed by restoring SBC configuration from a "tar.gz" backup file Activities like replacing a single node in an HA pair (as an RMA for example) or re-installing a single node in an HA pair at a time are safe. The node that has just been re-installed will take the current configuration from the active node. For details please refer to Sonus Warning: Warning-17-00022737.
