Hi,

You will need to download WAAS Recovery ISO from CCO. Please follow below steps,

1) Download the WAAS recovery CD from Cisco CCO. It will based on Software image you want to download,

For example WAAS 4.2.3 - Image name is "waas-rescue-cdrom-4.2.3.7-k9.iso"

2) Once you downloaded the image and burned it in a CD please insert it in the WAE-674-K9 device

3) Reboot the WAE. After the WAE boots, you see the following menu:

Installer Main Menu:

  1. Configure Network

  2. Manufacture flash

  3. Install flash cookie

  4. Install flash image from network

  5. Install flash image from cdrom

  6. Install flash image from disk

  7. Recreate RAID device (WAE-674/7341/7371 only)

  8. Wipe out disks and install .bin image

  9. Exit (Eject and reboot)

4) Choose option 2 to prepare the flash memory.

This step prepares a cookie for the device.

5) Choose option 3 to install the flash cookie that you prepared in the previous step.

6) Choose option 5 to install the flash image from the CD-ROM.

7) If you are working with a WAE-7341, WAE-7371, or WAE-674 device, choose option 7 to recreate the RAID array.

8) Choose option 8 to wipe the disks and install the binary image.

This step prepares the disks by erasing them. The WAAS 4.x.x image is installed.

11) Choose the option 9 to reboot the WAE

Once you complete above steps the WAE will be loaded with WAAS Software.

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,

Rahul

It was close, had issues with cd install menus not matching, but I was able to get it up without a cd afterall. Thanks for the input.
