Re: Factory Reset of J21 Power Blade?

Unfortunately I believe the initial process of programming the VPD data is
equal to programming a blank anchor card and that one is writable only
once. I wish you luck and please, keep us posted if you do find out how to
reprogram it.

A Brand New JS21 Blade from IBM will on first Install/IPL will stop
at a
D100 code where you can put in the blade's Machine Type, Serial etc.
There
isn't VPD Chip to move that info to a replacement blade. I need to
somehow
get a JS21 blade to
prompt for this data. I have tried Resetting the NVRAM via the start
option
in the BladeCenter but No Joy. Anyone know how to do this?
