Erase Database

Caution: This procedure is service-affecting to the network element. The erasedb function erases the ESU User Database, Secure Socket layer (SSL) certificates, TurNup Settings, and the Provisioning database.

Note 1: At the ESU serial port, the user must have administrative privileges to perform this procedure. The only exception to this rule occurs when an ESU is booted with no SFP modules in the faceplate SFP slots, as described in note 2 below.

Note 2: When an ESU is installed without SFP modules, the local craft interface account (craft/adsl2+) is enabled. This mode is used to erase and TurNup a previously-used ESU when the previous local user accounts/passwords are not known.

The erasedb command is used to erase the ESU configuration database, user database, and/or the TurNup database. It returns the ESU to the factory initialized state. This procedure is intended only for a catastrophic failure and recovery where a replacement ESU has been installed with existing provisioning information that applies to a previous network element. This option is available only on cards that have been previously turned up.

Command Path - erasedb
Command Path - olt erasedb (OLT2 only)

Note: **=olt - Add olt to the CLI Command Path for OLT2.

At the ESUx> command line, input ** erasedb, and press Enter. The following warnings and prompt are displayed:

ESUx> ** erasedb <enter> 
ERASEDB will ERASE all data in the NE database and return it to initial factory settings.
ERASEDB will be SERVICE AFFECTING to ALL LINES within the NE.
NE needs to be DELETED and RE-ADDED from EMS.
Do you also wish to erase the User Database? (Y/N) [N]:_

Caution: Entering Y (Yes) to this prompt erases the User Database, resetting the factory default user accounts and passwords (admin/tellabs and craft/adsl2+).

If Y, erase the User Database.
If N, do not erase the User Database.

The following prompt is displayed:
Do you also wish to erase the SSL certificates? (Y/N) [N]:_.
Caution: Entering Y (Yes) to this prompt erases all Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates.

If Y, erase the User Database.
If N, do not erase the User Database.

The following prompt is displayed:

Do you also wish to erase the TurNup Settings? (Y/N) [N]:_

Caution: Entering Y (Yes) to this prompt erases the ESU TurNup settings. When the ESU TurNup settings are erased, the ESU must be reconfigured by logging on at the ESU serial port (see TurNup (tn)) and re-entering all of the basic TurNup parameters.

If Y, erase the TurNup settings.
If N, do not erase the TurNup setting.

The following prompt is displayed:

Are you sure you wish to continue? (Y/N) [N]:_

Caution: Entering Y (Yes) to this prompt erases the Provisioning Database. To recover the NE after erasing the Provisioning Database, the NE can be recovered only by performing a restore of the database to this NE or by deleting and re-adding the NE (see the Tellabs 1100 Series Optical LAN Managing the PON User’s Guide).

If Y, erase the Provisioning Database.
If N, do not erase the Provisioning Database.

Input Y, and press Enter. If Y was entered for any of the preceding prompts, the following warning is displayed:
Are you certain you wish to continue? (Y/N) [N]:_

If N was entered for ALL of the preceding prompts, the erasedb command exits and an ESUx> prompt is displayed.

Type Y and press Enter. The ESU performs a cold reboot.
