6-6 CHAPTER 6: SAVING, RESTORING, AND RESETTING NONVOLATILE DATA
Resetting NV
Data to Defaults At times you may not want to restore the system NV data. Instead, you may
want to reset the values to the factory defaults so that you can start
configuring the system from the original settings.
CAUTION: Resetting the NV data means that all NV memory is set back to
the factory defaults. Before proceeding, ensure that you want to reset your
NV data.
To reset all the NV data on the system to the original default values:
1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
system nvData reset
You see the following prompt:
Resetting nonvolatile data may leave the system in an
inconsistent state and therefore a reboot is necessary
after each reset.
Do you wish to continue (n,y) [y]:
2Confirm that you want to reset NV data by entering y (yes) at the prompt. If
you enter y (yes) the system will reboot. If you enter n (no), you are
returned to the previous menu.
3Reboot the system.
