Dear all, 

We want to decommission old hardware HPE Simplivity CN3400-1 

So we want to reset factory these 2 nodes and redeploy an infrastructure from scratch for future use.

I did not find anymore infos about this hardware from support.hpe.com by looking at the Serial Tags or by searching my model.

Serial Tags of the 2 Simplity HPE nodes  : info erased and info erased.

Maybe someone can help me.

Any documentation can be helpfull.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.

Hello @Edouard1 

This link might help with the factory reset process. 

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=sf000061061en_us 

Have in mind the video is for an HPE Proliant server but the process is very similar for Legacy servers, what changes is the way you access your console and mount the image. 

Hope it helps,

Hello 

Yes i saw this video , thanks I saw that we need to boot to an image , but did not find any image to download , I imagine that i can download it from HPE Support page.

I will search a bit more when I can download the Simplivity Image.

I find the follow link : https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_0db7d36c98cc4dc088bd9b7fe8#tab4 

* RECOMMENDED * HPE OmniStack for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere

@Edouard1 

That's the correct link. You can go up to version 3.7.10 for legacy nodes. 

The link for this version would be:

Hello Edouard,

the provided link will bring you to 3.7.8 release. Please check this one:

* RECOMMENDED * HPE OmniStack for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere (3.7.10) 

HPE SimpliVity related documentation can be found here: 

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library

You`ll need to download OmniStack release 3.7.0 and extract the given Dell ESXi versions from there while uploading them onto the 3.7.10 Deployment Installer after it`s been booted.

I`d strongly suggest to open a ticket to have an engineer assisting you with this steps.

Please let me know if you`ve got any questions and I`m happy to assist!
