The Deployment Manager provides the ability to reset one or more appliances, or even your entire system. For example, you might need to reset one or more appliances if the components are not communicating as they should. Resetting an appliance means that you completely remove the selected component and restart the deployment process without having to redeploy the OVF file on the VM and set up networking again. This option essentially takes you back to the point where you have not yet run the Deployment Manager.
WARNING:Whether you reset a single appliance or all appliances in the system, this action removes all component settings, data, and configuration. You cannot undo this action.
