About NetBackup Flex Scale node factory reset
The purpose of a factory reset is to return a node to a clean unconfigured default factory state. A factory reset discards all the data from the node, including storage and networking configuration and reverts the node to the factory image. However, you can choose to retain the network configuration, if required, before you initiate a factory reset. Additionally, you can also choose whether or not to restart the node immediately after the reset completes. However, a node restart is required for the factory reset process changes to take effect on the node.
During the factory reset process, the following components are reset:
Appliance software
NetBackup software
Storage configuration and backup data
(optional) Networking configuration
You can perform a factory reset using the factory reset command from the system command prompt.
Note:
You cannot factory reset a node if the node is in the cluster, disk erasure is in progress, or the lockdown mode is set to compliance or enterprise.
