Management module configuration data persist through system boots and failovers. Management Module Configuration Persistence Reset configuration with types of RESET_CONFIG and RESET_ALL will not reset these management module configuration settings: racadm racresetcfg Locked Management Module Configurations The CLI racadm command is equivalent to Redfish API ResetType of RESET_CONFIG. To perform a reset to defaults, use one of the following interfaces: OpenManage Enterprise (OME) Modular logs.Security Settings – Customer Certificate, Private Key.Chassis Settings – Asset Tag, Chassis Name.Reset IPv4, IPv6, DNS, VLAN settings to defaults.Reset firewall configuration to default.Re-generate web SSL certificate and key.
#RESET IDRAC TO FACTORY DEFAULTS PASSWORD#
Reset root password to factory shipped default password.This is a comprehensive list of configuration items which are impacted when a reset to default function is performed Resettable Management Module Configuration Standalone Chassis: Reset configuration is fully supported for standalone chassis. However, chassis will be removed from the MCM group after the operation and become a standalone chassis. Member Chassis: If a chassis is member chassis of a MCM group, reset configuration is supported. Error Message: “Reset to defaults is not supported on a lead chassis in the MCM group.”


The command will fail if you attempt to reset to defaults in an MCM Lead setup and an error message will return.

Lead Chassis: If a chassis is lead chassis of a MCM group, then you must dissolve the MCM group before performing reset to default. The Dell EMC MX7000 chassis supports a “Multi Chassis Management” (MCM) feature, which allows a stack of chassis that have been physically cabled together to be managed through a single management module. After a reset operation, you will always see the reset to defaults logged. Detailed information of reset configuration success/failures are logged in hardware logs (See CMC8731/CMC8732 in the Dell Message Registry). See below for the details on each of these.ĭuring the reset configuration operation, the management module reboots, wipes out applicable configuration and restores them to the factory default values. Users can initiate a reset to defaults operation from either the racadm CLI utility, or via a REST API call to the management module. Additionally, we describe the settings that are stored in the front panel so that users can understand what settings will need to be re-applied when management modules are replaced. In this blog, we will outline all of the settings that are reset when a user performs a reset to defaults on the MX7000 chassis. This blog discusses the “Reset to Default” feature found in Dell’s new PowerEdge MX7000 chassis, Also outlined are the front panel configuration storage options.
