Use this information to reset the CMM.
The CMM supports
three levels of reset:
- Standard reset (restart) performs an immediate reset and restart
of the CMM.
- Service-level reset (virtual reseat) simulates removing the CMM from
the chassis to remove power and then reinserting it.
- Resetting the CMM to
its factory default configuration restarts the CMM and
restores the CMM to
its original unconfigured state.
You can reset a CMM when
you have physical access to it or by using one of the CMM management
interfaces (CMM web
interface or the CMM command-line
interface).
Reset procedures for when you have physical access to the CMM
If you have physical access to the CMM:
- Standard reset (with physical access to CMM):
- You can perform a standard reset (restart) of the CMM by
pressing the reset button for between 1 and 10 seconds (see CMM controls
and indicators for more information).
- Service-level reset (with physical access to CMM):
- You can perform a service-level reset (virtual reseat) of the CMM by
removing it from the chassis and then reinserting it (see Removing a Chassis Management Module and Replacing a Chassis Management Module for
instructions).
- Restore the CMM to
its factory default configuration (with physical access to CMM):
You can restore the CMM to
its factory default configuration by pressing the reset button for
at least 10 seconds (see CMM controls
and indicators for more information).
Attention: When restoring the
CMM to
its factory default configuration by pressing the reset button, all
CMM log
files and configuration settings are lost.
- You will need to configure the CMM after
restoring the CMM to
its factory default configuration. Save the CMM configuration
before restoring the CMM to
its factory default configuration, if you intend to reuse your configuration
settings (see Saving
a CMM configuration for information about saving up the CMM configuration).
- To retain the log files to assist with troubleshooting CMM problems
during CMM replacement,
restore the CMM to
its factory default configuration using the CMM web
interface or the CMM command-line
interface, as described in the information that follows.
Important: Restoring the CMM to
its factory default configuration takes several minutes. Do not remove
power from the CMM or
from the Flex System Enterprise
Chassis while
the CMM is
restoring.
Reset procedures for using the CMM management
interfaces
If you do not have physical access to the CMM,
you can reset the CMM using
the CMM web
interface or the CMM command-line
interface.
- Standard reset (using a CMM management
interface):
To performing a standard reset (restart) of
the CMM using
one of its management interfaces, complete one of the following procedures.
Important: All existing network connections will be temporarily
lost when you reset the CMM.
You will need to reconnect to the CMM after
the reset completes.
- In the CMM web
interface, select Restart from the Mgt Module Management menu.
See CMM management
options for more information. All fields and options
are fully described in the CMM web interface online help. Several
restart options are available for the Flex System Chassis
Management Module,
depending on your system configuration.
- In the CMM CLI,
use the reset command (see reset command for information about command
use). Several reset command options are available
for the Flex System Chassis
Management Module.
- Service-level reset (using a CMM management
interface):
To perform a service-level reset (virtual reseat)
of the CMM using
one of its management interfaces, complete one of the following procedures.
Attention: If you are managing your
Flex System chassis
using the optional
Flex System Manager software,
you must unmanage and remanage the chassis when performing service-level
reset (virtual reseat) of the primary
CMM.
See
Flex System Manager management node information
center page for more information.
- In the CMM web
interface, reset the CMM by
choosing Reset > Virtual Reseat from the Service Reset tab
on the Advanced Status page (select Advanced Status > Service
Reset from the Service and Support menu). See Service
and support options for more information. All fields and options
are fully described in the CMM web interface online help.
- In the CMM CLI,
use the service -vr command (see service
command for information about command
use).
- Restore the CMM to
its factory default configuration (using a CMM management
interface):
To restore the CMM to
its factory default configuration using one of its management interfaces,
complete one of the following procedures.
Attention: All existing network connections will be lost when
you restore the
CMM to
its factory default configuration. You will need to configure the
CMM after
restoring the
CMM to
its factory default configuration. Save the
CMM configuration
before restoring the
CMM to
its factory default configuration, if you intend to reuse your configuration
settings (see
Saving
a CMM configuration for information about saving up the
CMM configuration).
Important: When restoring the CMM to
its factory default configuration, you should retain the log files
to assist with troubleshooting CMM problems
during CMM replacement.
Log information is retained automatically when restoring the factory
default configuration using the CMM CLI
and is the default selection when restoring the factory default configuration
using the CMM web
interface.
- In the CMM web
interface, to reset the CMM,
select Reset to Defaults from the Mgt Module Management menu;
then, click OK to confirm. You can remove the check from Preserve
Logs , if you do not wish to save log files. See Resetting
the CMM to manufacturing defaults for more information. All fields and options
are fully described in the CMM web interface online help.
- In the CMM CLI,
use the clear -cfg command (see clear command for information about command
use).
Important: Restoring the CMM to
its factory default configuration takes several minutes. Do not remove
power from the CMM or
from the Flex System Enterprise
Chassis while
the CMM is
restoring.
