We had a “NetBackup Appliance 5250” in our firm it was working fine until I touched it!
The system OS crashed and as it was not booting up , I decided to re-image the FLEX OS version 3.
The appliance is attached to a flat switch (basic LAB environment) via Ethernet cables.
I have already configured the BMC (remote management) (you need to press F6 ,Setup,BMC configuration)on the appliance.
I have received the FLEX OS from one of my colleagues and attached it to Appliance via virtual CD in BMC (remote management connection).
Once the ISO is connected , restart the appliance and press F6 and boot from the Virtual CD.
the media will take care of the installation and will run a set of scripts and finish the OS installation.
After the OS installation is finished, we will login to the OS and do a few configuration changes.

By pressing “?” question mark , we will get the available options commands.
First of all, we will change the password for the default user, hostadmin:
set user password

then we will change the time and date on appliance
set date timezone

once done,show date to confirm the date is correct.next step will be :
setup configure-network
provide the information for node administration console,

last step will be to configure the console
setup configure-console

once it is completed, to access the FLEX console via GUI, open a browser and use the IP which we configured earlier, you can log in with default username “admin” and default password(P@ssw0rd), you will be asked to change the password upon first login.

Now our Flex appliance is ready to be configured.
