factoryresetcontroller documentation

[blauerrauch]

Not having any luck with deleting a volume, I have shifted to nuking the whole configuration.
iLORest > factoryresetcontroller
Error: --storageid option is mandatory for iLO6 along with --controller option.
factoryresetcontroller --storageid=DE040000 --controller=0
Error: Invalid command
--reset_type and --storageid is required
factoryresetcontroller --storageid=DE040000 --controller=0 --reset_type='foo'
Error: --controller is not supported in iLO6
factoryresetcontroller --storageid=DE040000 --reset_type='thisisnotdocumented'
ERROR: 'Actions'

I am referencing this which does not correspond to the current command:
https://servermanagementportal.ext.hpe.com/docs/redfishclients/ilorest-userguide/smartarraycommands/#factoryresetcontroller-command

I cannot find any reference to "reset_type" anywhere.  What should this be?
Is there more current documentation for ilorest 5.0.0. than the URL above?

I am using ILO 6.

Hi @blauerrauch ;

As pe the same document, you can mention the 'ResetType' as follows-

"ResetType": "ForceOn"

Please check will the below command will help you to reinitialize the drive-

ilorest > drivesanitize 1I:1:1 --controller=1 --storageid=DE00900 --mediatype="HDD" --drivereset </span>
DriveReset path and payload: /redfish/v1/Systems/1/Storage/DE00A000/Drives/8/Actions/Drive.Reset, {"ResetType": "ForceOn"}

This is the command to clear the controller configuration-

ilorest > clearcontrollerconfig --controller=1
One or more properties were changed an will not take effect until system is reset.

Please mark as 'Accepted solution' and give me 'Kudos' if my post worked.

@shiva_jr Hi Shiva et al.,

So I see that the documentation page does not correspond to the help diagnostics from ilorest 5.0.0.

"ResetType" versus "reset_type"

It is unusual that help from a program itself is less congruent than a web page.

Any thoughts on my deletevolume issue?

Greetings!

What is the storage controller in question?

Are you able to make the required changes in the management utility of the controller?
