Factory Reset for the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller
If you attempt to remove the FIPS feature, some irrevocable changes and information remain on the system. You can return your platforms to their initial factory settings (zeroization) to truly remove all traces of the previous implementation. Depending on if you are performing this on an Acme Packet hardware platform or a Virtual platform, the process is different.
Caution:
Factory reset erases all system data, including licenses and configuration, and reboots the supported Acme Packet platforms using the factory default /boot/bzImage file. If the factory image file has been removed, the system will NOT be recoverable without manual intervention, and you may have to return the system to Oracle for factory re-initialization.Using the Oracle Rescue Account for PNF Zeroization
