The following options are available:

•
Reset Configuration Database—re-initializes the configuration database. This option clears all of the configuration settings found in the web console, but it does not clear the network settings (such as the IP address, host name, and gateway IP) that are configured in the console program.
•
Reset Metric Database—re-initializes the metrics database. All metrics captured up to this point are discarded. This option does not affect any configuration settings.
•
If you have enabled remote database access, you need to re-enable access after resetting the metric database.
•
Repair Metric Database—runs a repair utility that finds and fixes inconsistencies or corruption in the metrics database. The appliance applications are disabled while the repair operation runs. This utility may take several hours to run. When the utility is finished running, the applications are restarted after the operation is completed. When necessary the system runs an extended version of the repair utility that finds and fixes inconsistencies or corruption in the metrics database. This utility may take 10 hours or longer to complete. It should be used only as a last resort when option 5 does not fix the problems.
•
Backup Database to USB Device—this option performs a full database backup to a USB device. The USB device needs to be formatted in FAT32 or Linux®, depending upon you environment, and the storage capacity must be large enough to hold the entire database backup. The USB device can only hold one database backup, previous backups will be overwritten.
•
Restore Database from USB Device—this option restores the database backup from the USB device to the appliance.

Account management

Account management

The Account Management menu allows you to change your password and enable or disable SSH and web console access for your account. These functions are available in the console program primarily to provide a way for rescuing the system, if you have forgotten your password for the web console account. If this happens, you should be able to log in to the console program using the default setup account, which allows you to access the web console, assuming that you have not removed that account or lost its password.
