Name

SYNOPSIS
FactoryReset
FactoryReset ResetAll
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to reset the appliance to the factory default settings. If you changed the default factory-set password, this command resets it back to the default value.
Note:
Starting with the NetBackup Appliance 5.0 release, if you perform a factory reset with storage preserved, you can reset the system to the current version only. If you perform a factory reset without storage preserved, you can reset the appliance to a different version. After the reset is completed, the original networking configuration will be lost, so you have to login using the IPMI to reconfigure the appliance
For appliance nodes in a high availability (HA) setup, you must first remove the node from the HA setup and disconnect its Ethernet and Fibre Channel (FC) cables before a factory reset.
Before a factory reset on any HA node, perform the following tasks in the order as they appear:
On the node that you do not want to remove, run the following command to remove the other node from the HA setup:
Manage > High Availability > Remove Node HostName
Where HostName is the host name of the node you want to remove.
Remove the Ethernet cables between the two nodes.
Remove the FC cables between the node and the Primary Storage Shelf.
After completing the previous tasks, you can run the FactoryReset command.
Note:
If you do not remove the node from the HA setup and disconnect the Ethernet and FC cables before a factory reset, the command fails. An error message appears to remind you to perform the previous tasks and then try the factory reset again.
OPTIONS
- FactoryReset
Use this command to reset the appliance to the factory default settings.
- FactoryReset ResetAll
Use this command to reset the appliance factory installed image in non-interactive mode.
EXAMPLES
To begin a factory reset from the appliance shell menu
- Open an SSH session and log on to the appliance as an administrator.
- Enter Main_Menu > Support > FactoryReset. This command shows the following messages and requires you to answer the questions that follow, before the factory reset begins:
[Info] Disable interrupt (CTRL-C), quit, and suspend signals.
[Info] The IPMI sysadmin user and its associated password, status, and permissions have been reset to the default values.

Appliance factory reset will reset the entire system to the factory installed image. The appliance will have the following components reset to the factory restored settings/image: 1) Appliance Operating System 2) Appliance Software 3) NetBackup Software 4) Tape device configuration and associated tape images(data) on the primary server 5) Networking configuration (optionally retain) 6) Storage configuration and backup data (optionally retain) 7) Fibre Transport Deduplication target port configuration
