Delete a NAS Cluster (return to non-clustered state)

If you need to return the nodes of a NAS cluster back to their original factory-default non-clustered state — which includes resetting registry settings and removing the NAS VIP — follow the steps outlined here.

Keep in mind that this reset will not return all NAS settings on the nodes back to the original factory-defaults. It will only reset the NAS cluster settings on the nodes. To reset NAS authorization settings, see Reset NAS Authentication.

Note: For a list of all the Appliance Controller commands, see the Command Index.

To reset a NAS cluster to factory default settings:

  1. Log in to the Appliance Controller CLI on the master node:
  2. Enter:

    3. nascluster reset factory-defaults

  3. At the prompt, enter yes to reset configuration and registry settings for the NAS cluster. The default setting is No.

    4. > nascluster reset factory-defaults

    NAS cluster configuration and registry settings will be reset back to factory defaults (non-clustered), are you sure (yes/No)? yes
