Returning a Lighthouse instance to factory settings

At some stage, you may need to return to the factory settings. You can do this either through the UI or by running a shell script if you have root access.

Note:During this process, the current Lighthouse configuration will be overwritten and user files will be deleted. If you wish, you can create a backup of the configuration and any desired user files.

To return a Lighthouse to its factory settings using the Lighthouse UI:

  1. Login to the Lighthouse as root. Other users, even those with full administrative privileges, do not have the permissions required to reset the Lighthouse VM to its factory settings.

  1. Select SETTINGS > SYSTEM > Factory Reset.

  1. Select the Proceed with the factory reset checkbox.

  2. Click Reset.
