Hard reset FortiAnalyzer-BigData

Caution

Improperly resetting your FortiAnalyzer-BigData may result in losing all data.

When you hard reset your device, the command resets the OS on each blade and formats all data drives. All log data and configurations will be lost. FortiAnalyzer-BigData shuts down during the reset process. The entire process takes approximately 45 minutes.

You can add an extra option to the reset command to keep certain configurations constant:

  • -o all-settings resets all settings.
  • -o all-except-ip keeps the public IP constant
  • -o all-except-ssh keeps the ssh public key constant.
  • -o all-except-ip-ssh keeps the ssh public key and public IP constant.

For more information about extra CLI options, see the reset command in the CLI Reference in the Fortinet Doc Library..

To reset your FortiAnalyzer-BigData:
  1. Access the FortiAnalyzer-BigData Main CLI, and reset the FortiAnalyzer Main host by running the following command:

    execute reset [all-except-ip]

  2. Access the Security Event Manager Controller (see To connect to the Security Event Manager Controller:), and run the following command:

    fazbdctl -c reset -h cluster -o [all-settings|all-except-ip|all-except-ssh|all-except-ip-ssh]

    The Security Event Manager Controller reboots after a few minutes.

  3. After the Security Event Manager Controller reboots, re-connect to it and run the following command to verify that all members are detected and that the version is up-to-date:

    fazbdctl -c show -t members

  4. After verifying that all the members have a Joined status, run the following command to initialize the Security Event Manager:

    fazbdctl -c init

  5. Wait about 45 minutes until the following message is displayed on the terminal:

    [100%] Finished setting up core services.
