Guidelines

The reinitialize command reinitialized the DataPower Gateway, which deletes all configuration data. This data consists of custom stylesheets and GatewayScript files, object configurations, key and certificate files, log files, and so forth.

  • The command does not delete the HSM credentials on the HSM. However, the configuration that use the keys on the HSM is removed.
  • The command does not delete the data on the RAID array. However, the configurations that use the data on the RAID array is removed.

After files are deleted, they cannot be recovered. If you might need any of these files after reinitialization, ensure that you have copies of these files.

The following conditions occur after reinitialization.
  • The network configuration is removed. You can no longer access the DataPower Gateway through the former IP address. You can connect to the DataPower Gateway only through a serial cable. With a serial connection, use the startup command to provide the base configuration.
  • The password for the admin account is reset to admin.
