Chapter 17 System Management 331
Restoring Factory Defaults
XgOS supports resetting any Oracle Fabric Interconnect to its factory defaults, which
is the Oracle Fabric Interconnect’s original state when it was shipped from Oracle.
When factory defaults are restored, all configuration information (including the
Oracle Fabric Interconnect node name and system management IP address) is
cleared.
Note – Restoring factory defaults is dangerous. As a result, you should issue it only
when you are sure it is safe to lose all configuration.
Due to the dangerous nature of this operation, the following requirements exist:
■ The user restoring the factory defaults must have the “administrators” role.
■ The command requires confirmation before completing. To confirm the command,
enter the word “confirm” (in lower case, no quotation marks) when prompted.
Note – If you want only to clear the current configuration from the Oracle Fabric
Interconnect, use the system clear config command instead of restoring factory
defaults.
Effects on the Oracle Fabric Interconnect
When you set the Oracle Fabric Interconnect to factory defaults:
■ All files on the hard drive are removed (including user files, config files, and the
config database)
■ The Oracle Fabric Interconnect host name is reset to xsigo-<mac-addr> where
<mac-addr> is the Oracle Fabric Interconnect’s MAC address
■ The system interface is reset to DHCP mode
■ All log files are emptied out
■ The root, RCLI, and admin passwords are reset
When the Oracle Fabric Interconnect is reset to factory defaults, critical system
processes continue to run, but the Oracle Fabric Interconnect control software is shut
down. As a result, the Oracle Fabric Interconnect will continue to pass traffic but
cannot be managed until power is removed and reapplied.
