Resetting the CIMC to Factory Defaults

On rare occasions, such as an issue with the current running firmware, troubleshooting a server may require you to reset the CIMC to the factory default. When this happens, all user-configurable settings are reset.

This procedure is not part of the normal server maintenance. After you reset the CIMC, you are logged off and must log in again. You may also lose connectivity and may need to reconfigure the network settings.

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	Server# scope cimc	Enters the CIMC command mode.
Step 2	Server /cimc # factory-default	After a prompt to confirm, the CIMC resets to
		factory defaults.

The CIMC factory defaults include the following conditions:

•SSH is enabled for access to the CIMC CLI. Telnet is disabled.

•HTTPS is enabled for access to the CIMC GUI.

•A single user account exists (user name is admin , password is password ).

•DHCP is enabled on the management port.

•The boot order is EFI, CDROM, PXE (using LoM), FDD, HDD.

•KVM and vMedia are enabled.

•USB is enabled.

•SoL is disabled.

This example resets the CIMC to factory defaults:

Server# scope cimc

Server /cimc # factory-default

This operation will reset the CIMC configuration to factory default.

All your configuration will be lost.
