16、stomer Site Street Address:Customer Site City:Customer Site State/Country:VxRail_Nicias4_0_100_Reset_Procedure.docVxRail 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 underly

17、ing 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 t

18、here 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 custome

19、r 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 DisclaimersReset destroys all virtual machines and datastores in your VxRail Cluster. VMs on mounted d

20、atastores that you dont 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 Rese

21、t 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 cus

22、tomers appliance and premises after Reset is performed by qualified personnel.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

23、 not to be used on production systems!Materials Required:From the S website, download the reset package:File Name: v4.0.100_reset.zipMD5Sum: 966d86f7ef0b9b02445bcb06eb263dcbThis procedure deletes all data on the system. It should never be used on a production system.Reset ProcedureReset restores an

24、appliance to factory settings. It uses the original software images and the factory-created backup file to restore your appliance:/vmfs/volumes/images, /vmfs/volumes/reset/configBundle.tgzPrerequisitesA workstation/laptop with a web browser is required. It must be either plugged into the 10GbE switc

25、h or able to logically reach the VxRail management VLAN on the 10GbE switch.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 f

26、amiliar 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 ResetTo prevent a possible issue with the decompression of the software bundle, EMC recom

27、mends that the upgrade bundle is decompressed using a 3rd party decompression utility such as WinZip. Windows Explorer decompression may have difficulty handling large files resulting in file corruption.Download reset bundle v4.0.100_reset.zip from the EMC Support Zone website to VxRail workstation/

28、laptop.All files can be found in bundle with name v4.0.100_reset.zip from the VxRail Support page on /downloads. EMC Highly recommends that all files be verified using the md5 sum for each ova file to ensure integrity.On the VxRail workstation/laptop, uncompress it into a folder that you can browse,

29、 such as C:reset or /tmp/reset. This archive contains:Reset script: consisting of two python scripts: reset.pyc and gen_ovfenv.pycreset.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:r

30、eset_4.0.100-4907696.zip Python-2.7.8.msiVMware-viclient-all-6.0.0-3562874.exePython 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/lapto

31、p.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 management workstation, those versions should be uninstalled first and Python v2.7 installed.For VxRail applian

32、ces connected to an External vCenter, manually remove the cluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter. (Optional) In the vSphere Web Client, go to the Marvin-Virtual-SAN-Datastore. Click on Manage and then Files. Delete the ISO and UPGRADE directories. DO NOT delete any directories named

33、 with a UUID.For each VxRail host in the VxRail cluster, identify the IP address assigned to the factory-created VMkernel management interface (vmk0) in one of the following ways:The IP address is displayed in the vSphere Web Client (use vcserver to locate the network information for the VMkernel ad

34、apter on each ESXi host)orThe IP address is displayed in DCUI (console user interface for ESXi)orssh into each ESXi host (or connect a console or monitor via BMC) and run the esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get command on each host. The username is root. Use the password for the ESXi hosts that was

35、 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 vmk0vmk0 MARVIN Management IPv4 55 00:25:90:eb:bc:0a 1500 65535 true STATICOn an un-configured Vx

36、Rail 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.Fill in the IPv4 address

37、of each ESXi host in the cluster (use additional space if there is more than one appliance in a cluster):HostIPv4 AddressESXi host on node 1ESXi host on node 2ESXi host on node 3ESXi host on node 4From the VxRail workstation/laptop, verify that you can ping each IPv4 addressIf you cannot access a ho

38、st, try power-cycling the node first.Use vSphere Client to login vCenter Server to check current Management VLAN as below:Example: the management VLAN ID in this appliance is 117If you cannot access vCenter Server, you will have to ask the customer for the management VLAN ID.Running ResetReset is ru

39、n 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. Using the -vlan option for Reset is recommended even if curr

40、ent 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,-

41、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 p

42、ermits 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 exa

43、ctly 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 appli

44、ances 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

45、 on WindowsTo reset the appliance use the following command:Example:C:Python27python.exe c:resetreset.pyc -d -destroyAllVMs -f -a -a -a -vlan -initialIpAddress= -initialSubnet= -initialGateway= After ResetThe password is now Passw0rd! for all ESXi hosts, vCenter Server Appliance, and VxRail Manager.

46、For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove the cluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter. Point a browser to the VxRail Manager user interface to begin VxRail initial configuration following the instructions in “VxRail Initial Configuration” in the VxRail S

47、etup Guide. The location is one of the following: specified in the -initialIpAddress option supplied to Reset or HYPERLINK 00/ 00, the default value for ResetIf you cannot reach VxRail at one of these IP addresses after Reset, follow the instructions in Appendix A to configure another initial IP add

55、 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 contin

56、uing with the next secondary appliance. For more information, including configuring the Management VLAN, see the VxRail Setup Guide, “Adding Appliances 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 with

57、 the -initialIpAddress option. Then point your browser to each 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:Python27python.exe reset.py -d -destroyAllVMs
