You can now reset a
blade server to its factory settings. By default, the factory reset operation
does not affect storage drives and flexflash drives. This is to prevent any
loss of data. However, you can choose to reset these devices to a known state
as well.
Important:
Resetting storage
devices will result in loss of data.
Perform the
following procedure to reset the server to factory default settings.
The following
example resets the server settings to factory default without deleting storage,
and commits the transaction:
UCS-A# scope server 2/4
UCS-A /chassis/server # reset factory-default
UCS-A /chassis/server* # commit-buffer
The following
example resets the server settings to factory default, deletes flexflash
storage, and commits the transaction:
UCS-A# scope server 2/4
UCS-A /chassis/server # reset factory-default delete-flexflash-storage
UCS-A /chassis/server* # commit-buffer
The following
example resets the server settings to factory default, deletes all storage, and
commits the transaction:
UCS-A# scope server 2/4
UCS-A /chassis/server # reset factory-default delete-storage
UCS-A /chassis/server* # commit-buffer
The following
example resets the server settings to factory default, deletes all storage,
sets all disks to their initial state, and commits the transaction:
UCS-A# scope server 2/4
UCS-A /chassis/server # reset factory-default delete-storage create-initial-storage-volumes
UCS-A /chassis/server* # commit-buffer
