Restore to factory default configuration option missing hp 6125 G/XG switch

[LuckyTyagi]

Hi,

I'm trying to restore factory default configuration on my 6125 G/XG backplane switch. All the online forums and release notes suggests that in the Extended Bootware menu i should select option 5 i.e  Restore to Factory Default Configuration.

But i don't have that option in my menu, i see "Modify BootWare Password" option at that place. rest of the menu is same.

I tried deleting main and backup config file as well but still it isn't at factory settings.

I'm unable to find the option to resore factory settings. I tried with reset button on the switch as well, but didn't help. Can anyone please help me out?

This is a pretty old version need to update asap latest R2112P07
So just try
Reboot device
During initialization
Press Ctrl+B within five seconfs
Press enter at password prompt
Select 5 restore factory configuration

[LuckyTyagi]

That is the main problem. I don't have the 5th option as restore factory configuration when i do this.

Initial problem was this only.

Anything else that i should try?

Hi,

SORRY just realised i posted a solution to a wrong switchtype (6125XLG) below ...

the latest version is R2432P01,

from version 2402 and onwards, you can from within user-view in the CLI do:

restore factory-default

That command will :"

• Deletes all configuration files (.cfg files) in the root directories of the storage media.
• Deletes all log files (.log files in the folder /logfile).
• Clears all log information (in the log buffer), trap information, and debugging information.
• Restores the parameters for the BootWare options to the factory-default settings.
After this operation, only the items required for device operation are retained, including the .bin files, the
MAC addresses, and the electronic label information.
"

See "HP 6125XLG Blade Switch Fundamentals Configuration Guide for Software version: Release 240x" page 131

Hi,

if you delete main and backup configuraion-files. What configuration does the switch have when you reboot?

Anyways, the manual says:

HP 6125G & 6125G/XG Blade Switches Fundamentals Configuration Guide for Software version: Release 2103 and later

says on page 104.

reset saved-configuration [backup|main]

should delete your config and on reboot, boot with factory defaults.

I also did the same. But somehow it didn't get cleared.

Maybe because i have interconnect 3 and 4 in Active and Standby. One is backup of other and i'm not being able to revert that.
