VPlex upgrade failure

Hi,

I have an unconfigured VPlex that was running 5.2.  I decided to upgrade to the latest version of code, 5.4 SP1.  Anything below 5.3 requires a management server re-image.  I started performed the re-image and I'm not sure exactly how this happened but I didn't get a copy of the backup files.  The server came back up and when I tried to upgrade the management server package it failed because it could not find a copy of the backup file.  Is there a way to install the management package without a backup configuration file?  Or is there a way to create a backup of the management server configuration?

Thanks

    Oddly enough after a reboot the  IP and hostname came back but now there are no engines/*/directors context on the system.  I opened a case with Support.

    Hi,

    I just wanted to provide an update on this. The problem has been resolved.  It turns out that I was missing the manufacturing_manifest.properties file.  EMC support recreate it and my directors context came back.
