restore FTD

[Alexander Hartmaier]

Hi,

I didn't find any documentation how to restore a failed FTD, for example after a hardware RMA or a failed upgrade, as in my case.

I've already reimaged the FTD and want to re-register it with the FMC. It's part of a failover pair too in our case.

Thanks for the pointers, especially the HA replacement section!

I looked in the backup/restore section.

What would you do for a single FTD?

Breaking the failover pair didn't work because of an error in FMC.

I re-imaged both units with 6.2, reconfiguring all interfaces, routes, applying policies took a while but it works again.
