Hi,
I would like to set my MARS device back to the factory defaults so I can clear out all of my drop rules and start again from scratch. Is there an easy way to do this? Also, what would I need to backup before resetting the device? I would like to just delete all of my drop rules and start over again, but I know you can't do that. Any help/guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kerry

Yes you can. From CLI of Mars:
----------------------------------------------
[pnadmin]$ pnreset -h
Usage: pnreset or pnreset option.
Default. With no options pnreset restores the appliance to factory
defaults and purges all configuration and event data (certificate and
fingerprints stored to validate reporting devices, topology settings,
archived logs, and the license key information).
-h Displays this usage information.
-g Removes the Global Controller data from a Local Controller, leaving
the Local Controller-specific data and the Global Controller
communication information untouched. Use this option only after
a Global Controller crash or recovery. In this case, "pnreset -g"
must be executed on every Local Controller that was monitored by
the failed Global Controller.
-s Removes the Global Controller communication information and resets
a Local Controller to standalone mode. It removes the Global Controller
data and connectivity data from the Local Controller as well as the
default Controller zone information. Use this option only after
a failed Delete of the Local Controller entry from the Global Controller
"Local Controller Management" web page.
-o Resets the tnsnames.ora file to factory default. The tnsnames.ora file
is required for the Oracle client to connect to the Oracle server.
-j Resets the web server scheduler depending on Local Controller's
running mode. A restart of web server is enforced.
[pnadmin]$ pnreset
Reset command will erase all data in database and reboot the machine.
Please type YES if you want to proceed:

Hope this helps.

Hi Sid,
Thanks for the response. Should I be worried about the license? Should I back it up somewhere before I reset the device or is it something I just type in afterward?
Thanks,
Kerry
