Appendix B Performing a factory reset
This section describes how to reset a deployed Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp so that it can be redeployed.
Before you redeploy, you must reset backup servers, storage servers, and compute nodes to factory defaults and prepare for a fresh
deplo
yment.
CAUTION
: Performing these steps results in loss of all workload VMs running in your private cloud. Before you reset the stamp,
please make sure all important tenant VMs have been moved to another private, hosted, or public cloud. Do not move
management VMs. They are redeployed from initial state.
Topics:
• Access and account requirements
• Resetting the backup servers
• Resetting the storage cluster
• Resetting the compute cluster
• Clean up Active Directory and DNS records

Access and account requirements
Prerequisites
• To perform the steps described in the following sections, you need console access to each physical server in your cloud. You can access
a console either:
– Directly, by using a keyboard and a monitor attached to each server, or
– Over a remote console connection made through the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC).
• Factory reset procedures depend on the type of server you want to reset. There are dierent procedures for:
– Backup hosts
– Storage hosts
– Compute hosts.
• To perform cleanup steps, you need a domain user account with:
– Permissions to remove the Active Directory organizational unit (OU) for Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft (including all child
objects), and
– Permissions to remove records in DNS.
CAUTION: Do not clean up your Active Directory (AD) and Domain Naming System (DNS) until after you have completed the
steps outlined in the following sections. For information on cleanup steps, see Clean up Active Directory and DNS records.
Perform the following steps on each physical computer in your private cloud:
• Backup Servers
• Storage Servers
• Compute Servers.
