Reset the System Configuration
If you are having trouble determining the source of a problem with your ESXi host, you can reset the system
configuration.
Changes in the system configuration can be related to various problems, including problems with
connectivity to the network and devices. Resetting the system configuration might solve such problems. If
resetting the system configuration does not solve the problem, it can still rule out configuration changes
made since the initial setup as the source of the problem.
When you reset the configuration, the software overrides all your configuration changes, deletes the
password for the administrator account (root), and reboots the host. Configuration changes made by your
hardware vendor, such as IP address settings and license configuration, might also be deleted.
Resetting the configuration does not remove virtual machines on the ESXi host. After you reset the
configuration defaults, the virtual machines are not visible, but you make them visible again by
reconfiguring storage and reregistering the virtual machines.
C
When you reset the configuration defaults, users accessing the host lose connectivity.
