racresetcfg

Description

Deletes your current CMC configuration and resets CMC to the factory default settings. After reset, the default name and password are root and calvin, respectively, and the IP address is 192.168.0.120.

If you run racresetcfg from a network client (for example, a supported web browser, Telnet or SSH, or Remote RACADM), use the default IP address. The racresetcfg subcommand does not reset the cfgDNSRacName object.

To run this subcommand, you must have the Chassis Administrator privilege.

  • NOTE: Certain firmware processes must be stopped and restarted to complete the reset to defaults. CMC becomes unresponsive for about 30 seconds while this operation completes.
  • NOTE: There is a 100 percent fan request when the command is issued against the servers.
Synopsis
  • racadm racresetcfg
    RAC reset operation initiated successfully. It may take several minutes for the RAC to come online again.
  • racadm racresetcfg [-m <module>] [-c <feature>]
Input
  • -m <module> — Specifies the device to reset the configuration on <module>. <module> must be one of the following values:
    • chassis — Default state if -m is not specified
    • server–<n> — where n=1–16
    • server–<nx> — where n=1–8; x=a, b, c, d (lower case)
    • kvm
  • -c <feature> — Must be one of the following values:
    • ad — Reset Active Directory properties to default (default is disabled).
    • pcap — Reset Power Cap to default.
    • flex — Reset flexaddress properties to default (default is disabled).
    • dpse — Reset Dynamic Power Supply Engagement to default (default is disabled).
    • NOTE: FlexAddress or FlexAddressPlus will be set to enabled on running racadm racresetcfg (default is enabled without –c option). The server must be turned off prior to running this command to change the slot state.
    • NOTE: -c option is valid with <module = chassis> only.
    • NOTE: If chassis is the target of racresetcfg, CMC resets after the operation.
Example
  • Reset the KVM configuration on CMC.
    racadm racresetcfg -m kvm

    The configuration has initiated restoration to factory defaults.

  • Reset blade 8 configuration from CMC.
    racadm racresetcfg -m server-8

    The RAC configuration has initiated restoration to factory defaults.

    Wait up to a minute for this process to complete before accessing the RAC again.
