WAE 512 restore configuration after system reinstallation

[Tomasz Mowinski]

Hi

I had to reinstall whose system on one WAE. It WAS working as core and Edge. I could not save configuration directly from this WAE. It is only stored in CM. Now i'm trying to register this WAE back in CM to restore whole configuration but I have this message:

WAE-4(config)#cms enable
Registering WAAS Application Engine...
Sending  device registration request to Central Manager with address 10.1.1.1
Registration record for this device already exists or other nodes share the following information with this node: Mac 00:14:5e:95:da:5d already used by device WAE-4(CeConfig_928333);
register: Registration failed(512).
cms: unable to register node

FAILED to enable management services

I suppose that it would work after force deregistration or delete this WAE from CM. But in this way I would lost whole configuration.

Is it some way to add this WAE after system reinstallation and restore its configuration ?

thanks you in advance

Hi James,

There is indeed a way to register this WAE back to the CM after re-install.

The procedure to do so is described under the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v431/configuration/guide/maint.html#wp1105458
