service hypervisor-mode reset
Resets the SteelFusion Core hypervisor mode and clears all settings.
Changing the hypervisor mode in production deployments can result in loss of storage configuration and data. We strongly recommend you contact Riverbed Support to reset the hypervisor mode on your Core appliance.
Syntax
service hypervisor-mode reset { set-hypervisor-mode-esxi}
Parameters
set-hypervisor-mode-esxi | Resets the hypervisor mode to ESXi and clears all storage configurations. |
Usage
You can reset the hypervisor mode only in the physical Cores. You cannot reset the hypervisor mode in Edges and Virtual Cores. To view and add licenses on the Core, choose Settings > Maintenance: Licenses to display the Licenses page. For information about installing licenses on the Core, see the SteelFusion Core Installation and Configuration Guide.
Perform these prerequisite tasks before you change the hypervisor mode on an existing Core:
n Understand hypervisor modes and the effects of changing the hypervisor mode.
n Contact Riverbed Support and specify your requirements for which you want to change the hypervisor mode.
n Disconnect all the configured Edge appliances from the Core to avoid data loss.
n Disconnect any configured backend storage array from the Core.
n Disconnect any configured HA peer from the Core.
n Disconnect any configured replication Core from the primary Core.
The Core reboots immediately after you run the service hypervisor-mode reset command and confirm the reset operation. The Core boots up in the specified hypervisor mode and the block (iSCSI) mode. Use the show service command to display the current hypervisor and storage modes of the appliance.
Example
Core1(config)# service hypervisor-mode reset set-hypervisor-esxi
