Level O: Normal Mode

This is the same as resetting the V-Switch. No change is made to the V- Switch configuration.

Level 1: Last Good Configuration

Each time the V-Switch successfully boots up, it saves the database as the last good configuration. If the last time the V-Switch booted was also the first time, the database will be empty. Use this level to erase all configurations executed since the last reboot and return to the previous V- Switch configuration.

For example, if you are modifying or making temporary changes to the V- Switch configuration, first ensure that the current configuration is stored in the V-Switch by resetting the V-Switch then execute the changes. If the changes are no longer desirable, reboot in this level.

Level 2: Default Factory Database

This clears the database of all configurations expect user login profiles. Use this level to erase all virtual configurations expect the user profiles.

For example, if you want to transfer the V-Switch to a different physical storage pool within a campus, this level will prepare the V-Switch for its new configuration while maintaining the same user profiles of the same system administrators.

A direct RS232 connection is necessary.

Level 3: Default Factory System

This clears the database of all configurations executed on the V-Switch, including user login profiles. Use this level if you want to completely clear a V-Switch’s database.

For example, if you want to transfer a V-Switch to another branch office or campus department with different system administrators, this level will return the V-Switch to the same state it left the factory for shipping.
