. This command shows the
following messages and requires you to answer the following questions before
the factory reset begins.
A factory reset returns a single appliance node to a clean,
factory-installed image. The following components are reset to a
factory state:
- Appliance Operating System
- Appliance Software
- Access Software
- (Optional) Storage configuration and data
- (Optional) Networking configuration
There are two supported factory reset scenarios:
*Single node reset*
Use this mode if you want to reset just one node and then add it back
into the cluster. All of the data on the attached storage is preserved.
Requirements:
- Before you reset the node you must use the Access shell menu to
remove the node from the cluster and then physically disconnect the
Ethernet cables connecting the node to the cluster.
- Once the factory reset is complete, you may need to upgrade the
appliance software before you add the node back into the cluster.
This is to make the two nodes have the same appliance software version.
*Full cluster reset*
Use this mode if you want to reset the entire cluster and delete all
data on the attached storage.
Requirements:
- You must reset each node in the cluster one by one.
- Do not select to reset the storage when you factory reset the
first node.
- Ensure that you select to reset the storage when you reset the
last node.
Select networking configuration reset [Optional]
- Removes the IP and routing configuration.
- Removes the DNS configuration.
Note: If you reset the network configuration, you may lose the
ability to remotely access the appliance over IP. Once the
factory reset is complete, you can connect to the appliance
either directly or remotely using the IPMI interface.
