An administrator is re-provisioning an ESXi host and moving it to another datacenter.
Which DCUI option should the administrator use to revert the system configuration to the default settings?
A. Reset System Configuration
B. Rebuild Default System Configuration
C. Revert System Configuration
D. Renew Default System Configuration
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
You can reset the system configuration back to its default configuration by using the Reset System Configuration option in the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI).
When you reset the configuration, the software overrides all your configuration changes, deletes the password for the administrator account (root), and reboots the host. Configuration changes made by your hardware vendor, such as IP address settings and license configuration, might also be deleted.
Resetting the configuration does not remove virtual machines on the ESXi host. After you reset the configuration defaults, the virtual machines are not visible, but you make them visible again by reconfiguring storage and reregistering the virtual machines.
Procedure:
Back up the configuration using the vSphere CLI vicfg-cfgbackup command.
From the direct console, select Reset System Configuration and press Enter.
Press F11 to confirm.
The system reboots after all settings are reset to the default values.

B: Reset System Configuration is not a valid option. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: Rebuild Default System Configuration is not a valid option. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: Renew Default System Configuration is not a valid option. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
