This topic describes the process for returning the Delphix Engine  to "factory default" settings. This completely removes all DATA and CONFIGURATION.

Prerequisites

It is recommend to shut down and remove all VDBs before resetting the Delphix Engine. Failure to do so could possibly lead to stale data mounts in target environments. (NFS, for *nix environments, or iSCSI I/O errors in Windows environments) For the same reason, disable all dSources that use pre-provisioning (all SQL Server dSources, and any Oracle dSources with validated sync enabled).

Use Factory Reset only when a complete reset and reconfiguration of the Delphix Engine is necessary, as all Delphix Engine objects will be de-allocated

Procedure

  1. Connect to the Delphix Setup application and log in as a system administrator.
  2. From the Dashboard panel, click the Actions menu (...) on the top right and select Factory Reset.
  3. Click OK.

Alternative procedure via Command Line Interface (CLI)

  1. Connect to the CLI via SSH
  2. Login as sysadmin or with other system administrator credentials.
  3. "system ; factoryReset ; commit ; exit"
