Node Factory Reset | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hi,

         I am doing 4 node AHV cluster decomission. I did all the steps and finally gave cluster destroy and ensure it was destroyed completely. I want to do factory reset of all the nodes where the hypervisor /cvm configurations like hostname, IP etc will we wiped out. Let me know the procedure on this. Thanks.

Normaly Nutanix block comes discovery OS , there is no factory image available publicy which can be flash back.

Once you distroy the cluster all the data is distroyed. if you want to remove the prodution IPs & naming i would suggest to do the foundation with dummy IPs


Ok, if we give dummy IPs , host and cvm will be installed with those IPs and it will not fail due to any network validaiton rite ?

Yes, you can do. Keep your laptop / foundation vm ip in the desire range. 


so you mean to say even if the  dummy IP whichever we are giving for node/cvm is not reachable from foundation VM, the reimage process will complete ?

Which ever dummy ip you choose , hypervisor , cvm, foundation vm should be on same vlan or can communicate . That's it.


Thanks. And one more query.

I am deploying nutanix move and I want to access the move with two different IP. is it possible to add two nics with two different IP on the move VM ?
