Factory Reset

Factory reset will reset the appliance configuration back to factory settings of the current
software version, and reboot the appliance. All configuration changes will be lost, and the
appliance will need to go through initial configuration again, as when it was first installed. User
data on the storage pool (including projects and shares) will not be affected - however the pool
will need to be imported as part of the initial setup process.
To perform a factory reset:
BUI: click the "FACTORY RESET" button on the Maintenance > System screen.
■
CLI: enter the maintenance system context, then issue the factoryreset command.
■
GRUB: Add -c to the GRUB menu on the line beginning with kernel.
■
Note: Factory reset of a single controller while configured into a cluster is not supported. The
controller must be unclustered first.
Updates

System Updates

The system update feature provides customers, developers, and field personnel with the ability
to update a system's software after the system is installed.
Software updates are delivered as opaque binary downloads that contain some or all of:
Management and system software.
■
Firmware for internal components such as HBAs and network devices.
■
Firmware for disks and flash devices.
■
Firmware for external storage enclosure components.
■
In general, the update release notes describe what is in the update, and the update process
automates all of the steps of activating the delivered components.
Procedure
The procedure for updating the system is as follows:
First, the software update media is downloaded from an Oracle support website or retrieved
■
from another official source. The media is represented by a single compressed file named
after the version number, such as: ak-nas-2010-02-09-1-0.pkg.gz. The file can be renamed if
needed, as the true version number is recorded internally within the image. The compressed
media packages will vary in size, but typically will be on the order of several hundred
megabytes.
