Steps :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. First of all download the recovery ISO from Cisco for CS MARS 6.0.7.<\/li>\n
    2. Download the Ubuntu ISO. You can find it here.<\/a><\/li>\n
    3. Create a VM with 512MB Ram, 2 x 120Gb IDE Drives and 2 x E1000 NICs.<\/li>\n
    4. Mount the recovery ISO to the VM and power on.<\/li>\n
    5. Run through the installation, choosing “local controller”.<\/li>\n
    6. Once install login using “pnadmin\/pnadmin”<\/span><\/li>\n
    7. Detach the recovery ISO and attach the Ubuntu CD.<\/li>\n
    8. Assign an IP address using the command “ifconfig [interface] [ip add] [netmask]” and then allow it to reboot.<\/li>\n
    9. On reboot your machine should boot into the Ubuntu CD. Select the first option (This is the Live CD option)<\/li>\n
    10. Once you are in Ubuntu open up a terminal.<\/li>\n
    11. Assign your interface an IP address and default gateway.<\/li>\n
    12. Run the following commands.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      su passwd\r\nsu\r\napt-get install mdadm\r\nmodprobe raid0\r\nmodprobe raid1\r\nmdadm --assemble \/dev\/md3 \/dev\/sda3 \/dev\/sdb3\r\nmdadm --assemble \/dev\/md5 \/dev\/sda5 \/dev\/sdb5\r\ndd if=\/dev\/md3 skip=2 count=1 | sed 's\/\\x5A\\x7B\/\\x53\\xEF\/' | dd of=\/dev\/md3 seek=2 count=1\r\ndd if=\/dev\/md5 skip=2 count=1 | sed 's\/\\x5A\\x7B\/\\x53\\xEF\/' | dd of=\/dev\/md5 seek=2 count=1\r\nmount \/dev\/md3 \/mnt\r\nmount \/dev\/md5 \/mnt\/opt\r\ncd \/mnt\/opt\/janus\/release\/bin\r\nmv pnlicense pnlicense.org\r\necho \"\/bin\/echo d84f7ceaf50f9c45683e2efb77752d4f:License verified:4:0:0:4\" > pnlicense\r\nchmod +x pnlicense\r\numount \/mnt\/opt\/\r\ncd\r\numount \/mnt\/opt\/\r\numount \/mnt\/\r\ndd if=\/dev\/md3 skip=2 count=1 | sed 's\/\\x53\\xEF\/\\x5A\\x7B\/' | dd of=\/dev\/md3 seek=2 count=1\r\ndd if=\/dev\/md5 skip=2 count=1 | sed 's\/\\x53\\xEF\/\\x5A\\x7B\/' | dd of=\/dev\/md5 seek=2 count=1\r\nshutdown\r\n<\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Detach the Ubuntu CD so you boot straight into MARS.<\/li>\n
      2. Once loaded goto the web interface via https:\/\/[ip address]<\/li>\n
      3. For the serial number enter all 0`s.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        ESX Notes<\/strong><\/h4>\n
        When creating a VM within ESX (vSphere or vCentre) you will need to ensure you use a Bus Logic Controller and select the disks to be IDE. One disk should sit on IDE0:0 and the other on IDE1:0.<\/p>\n
