Recovering from a system failure If you encounter a system failure and need to re-install, see "Installing HP integrated VMware ESXi" section. IMPORTANT: Using the installation CD completely erases all existing data and user configuration. All preconfigured settings, user data and license information is lost. After reinstalling the software you must reapply your licenses.
