Creating a factory reset USB key for a Streamvault All-in-one appliance
2025-05-26Last updated
Before you can reset the image of a Streamvault™ All-in-one appliance, you must
prepare a bootable USB key that contains the required Streamvault software
image.
Before you begin
Get a USB key with at least 32 GB of storage. Some USB
keys are unable to boot the image; if this occurs, try using a different
brand or model of key.
CAUTION:
All
data on the USB key is deleted when you create a bootable drive.
The recovery image comes in one of the following three formats:
A .zip file containing .swm
files.
A .iso file containing the
.swm files and the Streamvault
factory reset utility user interface, which you’ll use to
reset the software image.
A .iso file containing the Windows
Setup wizard, which you’ll use to reset the software
image.
If your recovery image is a .zip file, unzip the contents
into any Windows folder.
From the Product Download page on GTAP, download the
Streamvault factory reset utility USB creator.
From the Download Finder list, select your version
of Security Center.
From the Other list, download the
Streamvault Factory Reset Utility
package.
Insert the USB key into a USB port.
Open the Streamvault factory reset utility USB creator
that you downloaded from the TechDoc Hub.
From the Select USB drive list, select a USB key that
has at least 32 GB of storage.
In the Select Genetec image section, click
Browse and select the .swm or
.iso file you downloaded.
Note:
If you require a .swm file,
select any one of the unzipped files from the wim
folder. All the .swm files in that folder will be
copied over to the USB key.
Click Create USB Key.
The Streamvault factory reset utility starts to
partition the USB key, download the image tools, and copy the image
files.
When the download is complete, the following message is displayed: The USB
key was created successfully.
