Replacement CompactFlash cards contain a preinstalled version of the NetScaler
software and a generic configuration file (ns.conf), but they do not contain SSL-related
certificates and keys, or custom boot settings. Configuration files and customized
settings must be restored from a backup storage location at the customer site, if
available. The files to be restored might include:
w
/flash/nsconfig/ns.conf: The current configuration file.
w
/flash/nsconfig/ZebOS.conf: The ZebOS configuration file.
w
/flash/nsconfig/license: The licenses for the NetScaler features.
w
/flash/nsconfig/ssl: The SSL certificates and keys required for encrypting data to
clients or to backend servers.
w
/nsconfig/rc.netscaler: Customer-specific boot operations (optional).
Note: Verify that the card you receive is the correct type for your NetScaler appliance.
