BL460c G7 blade Factory Reset to Default Settings

Al was looking to reset a blade to factory settings:

 

**************

 

I remember using this procedure on BL460G1 blades, but confirmation for 460G7 is really appreciated:

 

Set maintenance dip switch 6 to on position

Power up blade

Shutdown blade

Set switch back to off position

 

iLO should be back to factory settings (no IP Addresses, user added login/passwords, etc…).

 

Am I missing something?

 

*************

 

Input from Dave:

 

**************

 

There should be a label on the Blade cover that gives all settings.

 

1                     iLO2 security Overide

2                     Configuration Lock

5              Password Disable

6              Reset Configuration                ( ROMBIOS)

 

Others are reserved.

 

****************

 

And from Will:

 

****************

 

I believe the #6 DIP switch performs a clear CMOS which will clear the ROMBIOS.  Also, when the #1 and #6 DIP are used together, they perform a “harder” reset on the blade; but I would not say it’s a factory reset.

 

When I need to reset blade to factory, I usually use the OA CLI and drop an HPONCFG script.  Here are the scripts I use:

 

####Reset iLO2 to factory settings####

 

HPONCFG “Insert Blade Bay Number”  << end_marker

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">

  <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="Dontcare" PASSWORD="UsingAutologin">

                <RIB_INFO MODE="write">

                                <FACTORY_DEFAULTS/>

    </RIB_INFO>

  </LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

 

####Reset iLO3 to factory settings####

 

hponcfg “Insert Blade Bay Number” << @

 

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">

  <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="Dontcare" PASSWORD="UsingAutologin">

    <RIB_INFO MODE="write">

    <FACTORY_DEFAULTS/>

    </RIB_INFO>

  </LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

 

@

 

Just change the highlighted areas to match your bay numbers.  Good luck!

Any other input for Al?

The method provided by Will just resets iLO and not the the BIOS. To reset BIOS to defaults you have to flip switch 6 or go into RBSU and select the option to reset to factory default.

Re: BL460c G7 blade Factory Reset to Default Settings

I can't reset using that hpomcfg sctript, because i imported a bad certificate on my ilo3.

 

Is there any other way to reset ilo3 completly so it forgets the certificate, etc.. ?
