Make sure these tasks are complete before performing the procedure.Read, understand, and perform these tasks1. [ ] Table 1 lists tasks, cautions, warnings, notes, knowledgebase (KB) solutions, and Top 10 ServiceTopics that you need to be aware of before performing this activity. Read, understand, and when necessary perform any tasks contained in this table and any tasks contained in any associatedknowledgebase solution.Table 1 List of cautions, warnings, notes, KB solutions, and Top 10 Service Topics for thisactivityService Provider, Project Information and Customer Contact formThis form is automatically populated based on the information that is provided in the VxRail® Procedure Generator questionnaire prior to generating the procedure. This information is collected and used for reference purposes when referring back to this procedure at a later date and time.Section 2:Section 3:VxRail Reset ProcedureThese instructions describe how to reset the VxRail Appliance using the Factory Reset Script which returns the appliance to a first run state but leaves the underlying software load unchanged. The reset script can be executed in the field by a VxRail Appliance reseller, distributor, or EMC CSE.Use this process to reset between demonstrations or moves between customer sites for evaluation.The reset script takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, however if there are environmental problems (network connectivity, i.e.) it can fail.The unit must be in an otherwise healthy state, connected to the network and functioning for the reset script to be used.Attention:The reset script tool will wipe all data and defined User VMs from the appliance. If the customer wants to keep their data or VMs, they must back them up prior to running the tool.Always use the latest VxRail Reset tool for the factory reset function based on your model of VxRail. Warnings and Disclaimers•Reset destroys all virtual machines and datastores in your VxRail Cluster. VMs on mounted datastores that you don’t want the reset to delete should be unregistered.prior to executing the reset.The process cannot be interrupted and there are no data recovery options available once the Reset starts.•The Reset script and documentation may only be utilized by properly trained personnel.•The Reset script and documentation are only available to properly trained engineering, support, and sales organizations.•The Reset script and documentation must not be provided to anyone who is identified as a direct end-user of a VxRail product.•The Reset script and documentation must be removed from the customer’s appliance and premises after Reset is performed by qualified personnel.Note: Reset script 4.0.100 is required for all VxRail appliances with Release 4.0.100 software. Intended Audience:This procedure is intended to be used by QEP Distribution Partners and VARs performing POC demos. This Procedure is not to be used on production systems!Materials Required:From the website, download the reset package:•File Name: v4.0.100_reset.zip•MD5Sum: 966d86f7ef0b9b02445bcb06eb263dcbWARNING: This procedure deletes all data on the system. It should never be used on a production system.Reset ProcedureReset restores an appliance to factory settings. It uses the original software images and the factory-created backup file to restore your appliance:/vmfs/volumes/<service_datastore>/images,/vmfs/volumes/<service_datastore>/reset/configBundle.tgzPrerequisites• A workstation/laptop with a web browser is required. It must be either plugged into the 10GbE switch or able to logically reach the VxRail management VLAN on the 10GbE switch.Note: This PC must be able to access both the pre-reset and post-reset VLANs and IP Addresses. •The VxRail appliance must have all software images and the configBundle.tgz file on the service datastore.•The document assumes you are familiar with the VxRail Setup Guide, the VxRail Product Guide, vSphere Web Client usage, and ESXi usage (DCUI/CLI).•All ESXi hosts must have the same version of both the ESXi and VxRail VIB on them. Preparing for ResetWARNING: To prevent a possible issue with the decompression of the software bundle, EMC recommends that the upgrade bundle is decompressed using a 3rd party decompression utilitysuch as WinZip. Windows Explorer decompression may have difficulty handling large files resulting in file corruption.1. [ ] Download reset bundle v4.0.100_reset.zip from the EMC Support Zone website to VxRailworkstation/laptop.Note: All files can be found in bundle with name v4.0.100_reset.zip from the VxRail Support page on https:///downloads. EMC Highly recommends that all files be verified using the md5 sum for each ova file to ensure integrity.2. [ ] On the VxRail workstation/laptop, uncompress it into a folder that you can browse, such asC:\reset or /tmp/reset. This archive contains:•Reset script: consisting of two python scripts: reset.pyc and gen_ovfenv.pyc •reset.pyc is in the package reset_4.0.100-4907696.zip.•You should uncompress it first in order to get the reset script.•The v4.0.100_reset.zip bundle contains three files:•reset_4.0.100-4907696.zip•Python-2.7.8.msi•VMware-viclient-all-6.0.0-3562874.exe•Python libraries: pyVim and pyVMomiPython 2.7 is required for Reset. Python 2.6 will fail. If necessary, python 2.7.8 is recommended and includes the install exe for installation on your VxRail Management workstation/laptop.The Reset script is backwards compatible with all versions of VxRail so users should update to the latest version of the reset script. If previous versions of Python are installed on the managementworkstation, those versions should be uninstalled first and Python v2.7 installed.3. [ ] For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove thecluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter.4. [ ] (Optional) In the vSphere Web Client, go to the Marvin-Virtual-SAN-Datastore. Click on Manageand then Files. Delete the ISO and UPGRADE directories. DO NOT delete any directories named witha UUID.5. [ ] For each VxRail host in the VxRail cluster, identify the IP address assigned to the factory-createdVMkernel management interface (vmk0) in one of the following ways:a. The IP address is displayed in the vSphere Web Client (use vcserver to locate the networkinformation for the VMkernel adapter on each ESXi host)orb. The IP address is displayed in DCUI (console user interface for ESXi)orc. ssh into each ESXi host (or connect a console or monitor via BMC) and run the esxcli networkip interface ipv4 get command on each host. The username is root. Use the password for the ESXi hosts that was set during VxRail Initial Configuration. (For an un-configured VxRail appliance, the password is Passw0rd!) The output will be similar to what is shown below:esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get | grep "vmk0"vmk0 MARVIN Management IPv4 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.25500:25:90:eb:bc:0a 1500 65535 true STATICOn an un-configured VxRail appliance, ESXi IP addresses are either assigned by DHCP (if it was available in your network) or configured as IPv4 link-local addresses (starting with 169.254.x.y). On a configured VxRail appliance, ESXi IP addresses are specified by the user who set up the appliance.6. [ ] Fill in the IPv4 address of each ESXi host in the cluster (use additional space if there is more thanone appliance in a cluster):Host IPv4 AddressESXi host on node 1ESXi host on node 2ESXi host on node 3ESXi host on node 47. [ ] From the VxRail workstation/laptop, verify that you can ping each IPv4 addressNote: If you cannot access a host, try power-cycling the node first.8. [ ] Use vSphere Client to login vCenter Server to check current Management VLAN as below:Figure 1 Example: the management VLAN ID in this appliance is 117Note: If you cannot access vCenter Server, you will have to ask the customer for the management VLAN ID.Running ResetReset is run from the VxRail workstation/laptop, using the options described in the Reset Command Options section. Before running Reset, be sure to read the section on Best Practices and Troubleshooting so that you can use the Reset script correctly.Note: Using the --vlan option for Reset is recommended even if current management VLAN is not set ( in this case, use 0 for VLAN ID). It will modify the management VLAN ID saved in configBundle first before actually using the configBundle. It simplifies initial setup because the management VLAN ID is configured on all 4 ESXi hosts. Likewise, the --initialIpAddress,--initialSubnet, and --initialGateway options also simplify initial setup.Another benefit comes when a VxRail appliance is reset and remains in the same environment (I.e. It is not relocated to another network). In this case, retaining the management VLAN ID and initial IP information during a reset permits the VxRail Manager workstation/laptop to remain set for the correct VLAN and IP. If these options are not used, the instructions in the VxRail SetupGuide can be followed at a later time.If the VLAN option is not used, no changes will be made to the Management VLAN settings. It will remain exactly as previously set.All appliances and nodes in a VxRail cluster should be reset if one appliance or node needs to be reset. Use the following procedure:•If you have more than one appliance in your VxRail cluster, reset each secondary appliance, one at a time. We recommend that the secondary appliances be reset in the order in which they were added to the cluster. Power off all nodes after each appliance is reset.•If you only have one appliance in the VxRail cluster, or when you have finished resetting and shutting down all secondary appliances, reset the primary appliance.Example using Reset on Windows1. [ ] To reset the appliance use the following command:Example:C:\Python27\python.exe c:\reset\reset.pyc -d --destroyAllVMs -f <IPv4_node1> -a <IPv4_node2> -a <IPv4_node3> -a <IPv4_node4> --vlan <vlan_id>[ --initialIpAddress=<init_IPaddr> --initialSubnet=<init_netmask>--initialGateway=<init_gateway> ]After ResetNote: The password is now Passw0rd! for all ESXi hosts, vCenter Server Appliance, and VxRail Manager.1. [ ] For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove thecluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter.2. [ ] Point a browser to the VxRail Manager user interface to begin VxRail initial configuration followingthe instructions in “VxRail Initial Configuration” in the VxRail Setup Guide. The location is one of the following:<init_IPaddr>specified in the ‘--initialIpAddress’ option supplied to Resetorhttps://192.168.10.200, the default value for ResetIf you cannot reach VxRail at one of these IP addresses after Reset, follow the instructions in AppendixA to configure another initial IP address.Reset Command OptionsBest Practices and TroubleshootingResetting Clusters with Multiple AppliancesIf you want to restore a multi-appliance VxRail cluster:After performing initial configuration on the primary appliance in the VxRail cluster, power on and configure each secondary appliance, one at a time. The primary appliance will discover each secondary appliance when it is powered on. Then you will add it to the cluster before continuing with the next secondary appliance. For more information, including configuring the Management VLAN, see the VxRail Setup Guide, “Adding Appli ances to a VxRail Cluster”.If you want to separate the appliances into multiple VxRail clusters:When you run Reset on each appliance, assign a unique <init_IPaddr> with the ‘--initialIpAddress’option. Then point your browser to each <init_IPaddr> and run VxRail initial configuration to create separate VxRail clusters.Reset Output: Example output of Successful reset:Reset succeeds with INFO and WARNING output similar to the following:c:\Python27\python.exe reset.py -d --destroyAllVMs -f 10.10.10.11 --initialIpAddress=10.10.10.250 --initialSubnet=255.255.254.0--initialGateway=10.10.10.253 -a 10.10.10.12 -a 10.10.10.13 -a 10.10.10.14 Post-configuration Password:INFO Primary node supplied: 10.10.10.11 INFO Secondary node supplied:10.10.10.12 INFO Secondary node supplied: 10.10.10.13 INFO Secondary nodesupplied: 10.10.10.14INFO MARVIN VIB 3.x discovered on hostsVxRail 3.x WARNING================================================WARNING THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CURRENTLY REGISTERED VIRTUAL MACHINES:WARNING ['VMware vCenter Server Appliance', 'VxRail Manager', 'VMware vRealize Log Insight'] WARNING CONTINUING WILL DESTROY ALL VIRTUAL MACHINES REGISTERED WITH THE APPLIANCE.CONFIRM (YES/NO): YESWARNING DESTROYING ALL VMs ON 10.10.10.11: ['VMware vCenter Server Appliance', 'VxRail Manager', 'VMware vRealize Log Insight']…INFO Host 10.10.10.11 has VMs [] remaining.

If it does not complete successfully on all nodes in an appliance, it can be rerun just on the node(s) that did not reset properly.Infrequently, Reset can report a failure but eventually succeed. This can happen if an ESXi host takes longer to reboot than the 720-second timeout in Reset. The ESXi node can still continue to boot and it may finally succeed. You can determine whether or not an ESXi host was successfully reset by attempting to login in via ssh or DCUI. The password should have been reset to Passw0rd!If you cannot login with this default password, the host was NOT reset properly. Run Reset again only on the host that did not boot successfully.Another reason that Reset could fail is if the IPv4 address for vmk0 does not match the information saved in configBundle.tgz. This would happen if ESXi was assigned a static IP address instead of link-local DHCP after configBundle.tgz was created, but before initial configuration. The failure message displayed would indicate failure to connect to all hosts.Usin g the ‘--onlyRegeneratePrimary’ option will quickly redeploy the service VMs.Note: Since you have already reset the appliance, the default password, Passw0rd!, must be used instead of your original password.C:\Python27\python.exe c:\reset\reset.pyc -f <IPv4_node1>--onlyRegeneratePrimary --initialIpAddress=<init_IPaddr>--initialSubnet=<init_netmask> --initialGateway=<init_gateway>The reasons that Reset can fail include the following:•Failing to connect to or locate a specified ESXi host•Using an invalid IPv4 address as Reset command options•Having a proxy server configured on the VxRail workstation/laptop•Failing to deploy the Log Insight VM or VxRail Manager•Still failing after several automatic retriesKnown IssuesIf you have a typo on the Reset command line, such as using a space instead of ‘=’ in the option/value pairs that require one (--initialIpAddress, --initialSubnet, --initialGateway), all 3 options will be ignored. (e.g--initialIpAddress=10.10.10.200 is correct; --initialIpAddress 10.10.10.200 is incorrect) If Reset otherwise succeeds, you can follow the instructions in Appendix A to set the initial IP address.Appendix A: VxRail Appliances with a Custom Initial IP address WARNING: The following steps are to configure a custom IP address for initial access to VxRail if you cannot use the <init_IPaddr> specified in the ‘--initialIpAddress’ option or the default IP address, 192.168.10.200.Note: You are setting the IP address for the VxRail Manager in Release 4.0.1. [ ] Connect the vSphere (C#) Client to the IP address of ESXi host 1 using the root user and thepassword that Reset configured during ESXi software installation, Passw0rd!2. [ ] Click the Virtual Machines tab and select “VxRail Manager”. The VM should already be poweredon. If not, click the green play button to power it on and wait for it to boot.3. [ ] Open the Console and login as root with the default password Passw0rd!4. [ ] Stop vmware-marvin:/usr/bin/systemctl stop vmware-marvin.service5. [ ] Using the vami_set_network command, change the default IP address to a custom IP address,netmask, and gateway using the following syntax (all arguments are required)./opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_network eth0 STATICV4 <init_IPaddr><init_netmask> <init_gateway>6. [ ] Start vmware-marvin and restart loudmouth on VxRail Manager:/usr/bin/systemctl start vmware-marvin.service/usr/bin/systemctl restart vmware-loudmouth.service7.

Make sure these tasks are complete before performing the procedure.Read, understand, and perform these tasks1. [ ] Table 1 lists tasks, cautions, warnings, notes, knowledgebase (KB) solutions, and Top 10 ServiceTopics that you need to be aware of before performing this activity. Read, understand, and when necessary perform any tasks contained in this table and any tasks contained in any associatedknowledgebase solution.Table 1 List of cautions, warnings, notes, KB solutions, and Top 10 Service Topics for thisactivityService Provider, Project Information and Customer Contact formThis form is automatically populated based on the information that is provided in the VxRail® Procedure Generator questionnaire prior to generating the procedure. This information is collected and used for reference purposes when referring back to this procedure at a later date and time.Section 2:Section 3:VxRail Reset ProcedureThese instructions describe how to reset the VxRail Appliance using the Factory Reset Script which returns the appliance to a first run state but leaves the underlying software load unchanged. The reset script can be executed in the field by a VxRail Appliance reseller, distributor, or EMC CSE.Use this process to reset between demonstrations or moves between customer sites for evaluation.The reset script takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, however if there are environmental problems (network connectivity, i.e.) it can fail.The unit must be in an otherwise healthy state, connected to the network and functioning for the reset script to be used.Attention:The reset script tool will wipe all data and defined User VMs from the appliance. If the customer wants to keep their data or VMs, they must back them up prior to running the tool.Always use the latest VxRail Reset tool for the factory reset function based on your model of VxRail. Warnings and Disclaimers•Reset destroys all virtual machines and datastores in your VxRail Cluster. VMs on mounted datastores that you don’t want the reset to delete should be unregistered.prior to executing the reset.The process cannot be interrupted and there are no data recovery options available once the Reset starts.•The Reset script and documentation may only be utilized by properly trained personnel.•The Reset script and documentation are only available to properly trained engineering, support, and sales organizations.•The Reset script and documentation must not be provided to anyone who is identified as a direct end-user of a VxRail product.•The Reset script and documentation must be removed from the customer’s appliance and premises after Reset is performed by qualified personnel.Note: Reset script 4.0.100 is required for all VxRail appliances with Release 4.0.100 software. Intended Audience:This procedure is intended to be used by QEP Distribution Partners and VARs performing POC demos. This Procedure is not to be used on production systems!Materials Required:From the website, download the reset package:•File Name: v4.0.100_reset.zip•MD5Sum: 966d86f7ef0b9b02445bcb06eb263dcbWARNING: This procedure deletes all data on the system. It should never be used on a production system.Reset ProcedureReset restores an appliance to factory settings. It uses the original software images and the factory-created backup file to restore your appliance:/vmfs/volumes/<service_datastore>/images,/vmfs/volumes/<service_datastore>/reset/configBundle.tgzPrerequisites• A workstation/laptop with a web browser is required. It must be either plugged into the 10GbE switch or able to logically reach the VxRail management VLAN on the 10GbE switch.Note: This PC must be able to access both the pre-reset and post-reset VLANs and IP Addresses. •The VxRail appliance must have all software images and the configBundle.tgz file on the service datastore.•The document assumes you are familiar with the VxRail Setup Guide, the VxRail Product Guide, vSphere Web Client usage, and ESXi usage (DCUI/CLI).•All ESXi hosts must have the same version of both the ESXi and VxRail VIB on them. Preparing for ResetWARNING: To prevent a possible issue with the decompression of the software bundle, EMC recommends that the upgrade bundle is decompressed using a 3rd party decompression utilitysuch as WinZip. Windows Explorer decompression may have difficulty handling large files resulting in file corruption.1. [ ] Download reset bundle v4.0.100_reset.zip from the EMC Support Zone website to VxRailworkstation/laptop.Note: All files can be found in bundle with name v4.0.100_reset.zip from the VxRail Support page on https:///downloads. EMC Highly recommends that all files be verified using the md5 sum for each ova file to ensure integrity.2. [ ] On the VxRail workstation/laptop, uncompress it into a folder that you can browse, such asC:\reset or /tmp/reset. This archive contains:•Reset script: consisting of two python scripts: reset.pyc and gen_ovfenv.pyc •reset.pyc is in the package reset_4.0.100-4907696.zip.•You should uncompress it first in order to get the reset script.•The v4.0.100_reset.zip bundle contains three files:•reset_4.0.100-4907696.zip•Python-2.7.8.msi•VMware-viclient-all-6.0.0-3562874.exe•Python libraries: pyVim and pyVMomiPython 2.7 is required for Reset. Python 2.6 will fail. If necessary, python 2.7.8 is recommended and includes the install exe for installation on your VxRail Management workstation/laptop.The Reset script is backwards compatible with all versions of VxRail so users should update to the latest version of the reset script. If previous versions of Python are installed on the managementworkstation, those versions should be uninstalled first and Python v2.7 installed.3. [ ] For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove thecluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter.4. [ ] (Optional) In the vSphere Web Client, go to the Marvin-Virtual-SAN-Datastore. Click on Manageand then Files. Delete the ISO and UPGRADE directories. DO NOT delete any directories named witha UUID.5. [ ] For each VxRail host in the VxRail cluster, identify the IP address assigned to the factory-createdVMkernel management interface (vmk0) in one of the following ways:a. The IP address is displayed in the vSphere Web Client (use vcserver to locate the networkinformation for the VMkernel adapter on each ESXi host)orb. The IP address is displayed in DCUI (console user interface for ESXi)orc. ssh into each ESXi host (or connect a console or monitor via BMC) and run the esxcli networkip interface ipv4 get command on each host. The username is root. Use the password for the ESXi hosts that was set during VxRail Initial Configuration. (For an un-configured VxRail appliance, the password is Passw0rd!) The output will be similar to what is shown below:esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get | grep "vmk0"vmk0 MARVIN Management IPv4 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.25500:25:90:eb:bc:0a 1500 65535 true STATICOn an un-configured VxRail appliance, ESXi IP addresses are either assigned by DHCP (if it was available in your network) or configured as IPv4 link-local addresses (starting with 169.254.x.y). On a configured VxRail appliance, ESXi IP addresses are specified by the user who set up the appliance.6. [ ] Fill in the IPv4 address of each ESXi host in the cluster (use additional space if there is more thanone appliance in a cluster):Host IPv4 AddressESXi host on node 1ESXi host on node 2ESXi host on node 3ESXi host on node 47. [ ] From the VxRail workstation/laptop, verify that you can ping each IPv4 addressNote: If you cannot access a host, try power-cycling the node first.8. [ ] Use vSphere Client to login vCenter Server to check current Management VLAN as below:Figure 1 Example: the management VLAN ID in this appliance is 117Note: If you cannot access vCenter Server, you will have to ask the customer for the management VLAN ID.Running ResetReset is run from the VxRail workstation/laptop, using the options described in the Reset Command Options section. Before running Reset, be sure to read the section on Best Practices and Troubleshooting so that you can use the Reset script correctly.Note: Using the --vlan option for Reset is recommended even if current management VLAN is not set ( in this case, use 0 for VLAN ID). It will modify the management VLAN ID saved in configBundle first before actually using the configBundle. It simplifies initial setup because the management VLAN ID is configured on all 4 ESXi hosts. Likewise, the --initialIpAddress,--initialSubnet, and --initialGateway options also simplify initial setup.Another benefit comes when a VxRail appliance is reset and remains in the same environment (I.e. It is not relocated to another network). In this case, retaining the management VLAN ID and initial IP information during a reset permits the VxRail Manager workstation/laptop to remain set for the correct VLAN and IP. If these options are not used, the instructions in the VxRail SetupGuide can be followed at a later time.If the VLAN option is not used, no changes will be made to the Management VLAN settings. It will remain exactly as previously set.All appliances and nodes in a VxRail cluster should be reset if one appliance or node needs to be reset. Use the following procedure:•If you have more than one appliance in your VxRail cluster, reset each secondary appliance, one at a time. We recommend that the secondary appliances be reset in the order in which they were added to the cluster. Power off all nodes after each appliance is reset.•If you only have one appliance in the VxRail cluster, or when you have finished resetting and shutting down all secondary appliances, reset the primary appliance.Example using Reset on Windows1. [ ] To reset the appliance use the following command:Example:C:\Python27\python.exe c:\reset\reset.pyc -d --destroyAllVMs -f <IPv4_node1> -a <IPv4_node2> -a <IPv4_node3> -a <IPv4_node4> --vlan <vlan_id>[ --initialIpAddress=<init_IPaddr> --initialSubnet=<init_netmask>--initialGateway=<init_gateway> ]After ResetNote: The password is now Passw0rd! for all ESXi hosts, vCenter Server Appliance, and VxRail Manager.1. [ ] For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove thecluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter.2. [ ] Point a browser to the VxRail Manager user interface to begin VxRail initial configuration followingthe instructions in “VxRail Initial Configuration” in the VxRail Setup Guide. The location is one of the following:<init_IPaddr>specified in the ‘--initialIpAddress’ option supplied to Resetorhttps://192.168.10.200, the default value for ResetIf you cannot reach VxRail at one of these IP addresses after Reset, follow the instructions in AppendixA to configure another initial IP address.Reset Command OptionsBest Practices and TroubleshootingResetting Clusters with Multiple AppliancesIf you want to restore a multi-appliance VxRail cluster:After performing initial configuration on the primary appliance in the VxRail cluster, power on and configure each secondary appliance, one at a time. The primary appliance will discover each secondary appliance when it is powered on. Then you will add it to the cluster before continuing with the next secondary appliance. For more information, including configuring the Management VLAN, see the VxRail Setup Guide, “Adding Appli ances to a VxRail Cluster”.If you want to separate the appliances into multiple VxRail clusters:When you run Reset on each appliance, assign a unique <init_IPaddr> with the ‘--initialIpAddress’option. Then point your browser to each <init_IPaddr> and run VxRail initial configuration to create separate VxRail clusters.Reset Output: Example output of Successful reset:Reset succeeds with INFO and WARNING output similar to the following:c:\Python27\python.exe reset.py -d --destroyAllVMs -f 10.10.10.11 --initialIpAddress=10.10.10.250 --initialSubnet=255.255.254.0--initialGateway=10.10.10.253 -a 10.10.10.12 -a 10.10.10.13 -a 10.10.10.14 Post-configuration Password:INFO Primary node supplied: 10.10.10.11 INFO Secondary node supplied:10.10.10.12 INFO Secondary node supplied: 10.10.10.13 INFO Secondary nodesupplied: 10.10.10.14INFO MARVIN VIB 3.x discovered on hostsVxRail 3.x WARNING================================================WARNING THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CURRENTLY REGISTERED VIRTUAL MACHINES:WARNING ['VMware vCenter Server Appliance', 'VxRail Manager', 'VMware vRealize Log Insight'] WARNING CONTINUING WILL DESTROY ALL VIRTUAL MACHINES REGISTERED WITH THE APPLIANCE.CONFIRM (YES/NO): YESWARNING DESTROYING ALL VMs ON 10.10.10.11: ['VMware vCenter Server Appliance', 'VxRail Manager', 'VMware vRealize Log Insight']…INFO Host 10.10.10.11 has VMs [] remaining.

If it does not complete successfully on all nodes in an appliance, it can be rerun just on the node(s) that did not reset properly.Infrequently, Reset can report a failure but eventually succeed. This can happen if an ESXi host takes longer to reboot than the 720-second timeout in Reset. The ESXi node can still continue to boot and it may finally succeed. You can determine whether or not an ESXi host was successfully reset by attempting to login in via ssh or DCUI. The password should have been reset to Passw0rd!If you cannot login with this default password, the host was NOT reset properly. Run Reset again only on the host that did not boot successfully.Another reason that Reset could fail is if the IPv4 address for vmk0 does not match the information saved in configBundle.tgz. This would happen if ESXi was assigned a static IP address instead of link-local DHCP after configBundle.tgz was created, but before initial configuration. The failure message displayed would indicate failure to connect to all hosts.Usin g the ‘--onlyRegeneratePrimary’ option will quickly redeploy the service VMs.Note: Since you have already reset the appliance, the default password, Passw0rd!, must be used instead of your original password.C:\Python27\python.exe c:\reset\reset.pyc -f <IPv4_node1>--onlyRegeneratePrimary --initialIpAddress=<init_IPaddr>--initialSubnet=<init_netmask> --initialGateway=<init_gateway>The reasons that Reset can fail include the following:•Failing to connect to or locate a specified ESXi host•Using an invalid IPv4 address as Reset command options•Having a proxy server configured on the VxRail workstation/laptop•Failing to deploy the Log Insight VM or VxRail Manager•Still failing after several automatic retriesKnown IssuesIf you have a typo on the Reset command line, such as using a space instead of ‘=’ in the option/value pairs that require one (--initialIpAddress, --initialSubnet, --initialGateway), all 3 options will be ignored. (e.g--initialIpAddress=10.10.10.200 is correct; --initialIpAddress 10.10.10.200 is incorrect) If Reset otherwise succeeds, you can follow the instructions in Appendix A to set the initial IP address.Appendix A: VxRail Appliances with a Custom Initial IP address WARNING: The following steps are to configure a custom IP address for initial access to VxRail if you cannot use the <init_IPaddr> specified in the ‘--initialIpAddress’ option or the default IP address, 192.168.10.200.Note: You are setting the IP address for the VxRail Manager in Release 4.0.1. [ ] Connect the vSphere (C#) Client to the IP address of ESXi host 1 using the root user and thepassword that Reset configured during ESXi software installation, Passw0rd!2. [ ] Click the Virtual Machines tab and select “VxRail Manager”. The VM should already be poweredon. If not, click the green play button to power it on and wait for it to boot.3.
