Resetting nvData
Viewing nvData
To reset the system settings back to their factory default values, use the
nvData reset option.
Important Considerations
Consider these points before you reset nvData on your system:
Resetting nvData erases all user-configured data, including all
passwords, except the terminalSpeed and modemSpeed baud settings
and the system boot parameters. Therefore, before you reset all
affected values, document your configuration so that you can
reconfigure the system after you reset it, or save the existing nvData to
a file. See "Saving nvData" earlier in this chapter for details.
You can reset nvData on a system only when it is directly connected
through the Administration Console. You cannot reset nvData
through a Telnet connection.
To verify that you have successfully saved nvData to the file that you
specified, view the header information for that file. The header
information shows pertinent product and system information.
Example:
Select menu option: system nvdata examine
