Appendix C: Factory Resetting a Blade to Prepare for a New OV4VC Build
or After a Failed Deployment on a Blade
If a problem arises during the deployment of a blade with OV4VC Grow Cluster, you can restart the deployment
process. To reset the environment before retrying the deployment, perform the following tasks:
• Remove the server entry from HPE ICsp, if needed.
• Power down and remove the profile from HPE OneView, if needed.
• Connect to iLO and use Intelligent Provisioning to reset the blade.

Remove Server Entry from ICsp

Depending on the error message that you received when you were performing the grow cluster, and the step
at which the error happened, you might need to delete the server entry in ICsp.
Note Alternatively, the server entry might have already been removed for you, or you might not have reached
the step of registering it in ICsp, so do not be alarmed if it is not there.
