[. . . ] Once the appliance has booted into ART, you will see this menu: Use the Cursor keys, Enter and Escape to navigate. · Test hard disk drive Evokes a hard disk check tool. A hard disk can be selected first, then read-only checks for bad blocks are performed. In case of a positive, hard disk file system repair actions may be triggered via the CLI only. 13 Installation and Recovery Using ART · Test CPU Performs a load test of all available CPUs. · Get hardware info Displays all available information stored in a hidden partition on the appliance such as serial number, initial installation date, etc. · Test RAM Evokes a RAM checking utility. Note that not the whole existing RAM can be tested as ART OS occupies some RAM by itself. · System recovery Effectively invokes a reinstall of the appliance. For hard disk based appliances, an installation "*. iso" image as well as a backup PAR file are stored within a dedicated partition on the hard drive and will be used. Optionally, an *. iso image on an USB thumb drive connected to the appliance may be used. If no PAR file is available, the default installation for the corresponding appliance type is chosen. See also Performing a Recovery Process, page 15. For flash-only appliances, this option always requires an USB thumb drive connected to the system. The system will be recovered either to the release version of Barracuda NG Firewall it was first installed in, losing the updates installed since then, or to the state stored in a PAR file residing within the art partition of the system drive. Once your appliance is readily configured, you may save the configuration for ART recovery through Box > Active Recovery > Save Current Config. This will generate an ISO file within the art partition that will be used during the next recovery process. ART system recovery only works if the appliance was installed with Barracuda NG Firewall 5. 0. It is not possible to use ART system recovery on systems that were updated from 4. 0 or 4. 2. See Using ART Recovery without USB Stick, page 15, in order to learn about the ART recovery process. · Configuration reset Allows the definition of a new host name, management IP address, default route and optionally a network driver. This functionality comes in handy if connectivity to an appliance was lost due to some misconfiguration or activation of an erroneous PAR file. · Start shell Enables access to a bash shell within which you may perform certain commands included with ART. · Reboot Reboots the appliance into Barracuda OS. · Exit Exits into Barracuda OS. Currently the only possible reason the ART recovery OS is invoked automatically for is a hard disk drive flagged as "dirty". This may indicate a hardware failure or a corrupt file system on the hard disk. [. . . ] · Serial number of the appliance Unique identifier for the appliance. · Shutdown menu Enables you to shut down the appliance. · Reboot menu Enables you to reboot the appliance. · Menu to change the management IP address Configure the IP address for the management port. 21 Using LCD Display and Keypad · Menu to boot into ART during the next reboot Enables you to set a flag that will cause the appliance to boot into ART the next time it is rebooted.
