The OpenBMC API defines a factory reset interface, which is intended to be used to restore the BMC to its original manufacturer settings. This interface is defined generically; it is specifically and variously implemented throughout OpenBMC services, which allows these services to be individually restored to factory defaults as needed.
Path: /xyz/openbmc_project/network The network factory reset overwrites the configuration for all configured network interfaces to a DHCP setting. Configuration changes will take effect the next time each interface is brought up - either manually or during a BMC reboot.
Path: /xyz/openbmc_project/software The BMC software updater factory reset clears any volumes and persistence files created by the BMC processes. This reset occurs only on the next BMC reboot.
