## Command Documentation

### BMC Factory Reset

Netfun: 0x3a Command: 0x11

This command will call to reset the BMC to its factory default. See [here][0]
for the factory reset implementation details.

This includes:

1. Power the chassis off. The host needs to be powered off because the factory
   reset deletes the inventory items, which are needed for the BMC during the
   power on path, causing the power on to fail. The inventory items are
   repopulated during a host power on. An enhancement to OpenBMC would be to
   handle missing inventory items during a BMC reboot when the host is on.
2. Set the BMC to perform factory reset on reboot.
3. Reboot the BMC for the factory reset to take effect.

Because the chassis is powered off, the host does not receive a return code when
successful.

This command is not allowed when the IPMI restriction mode is set to
'Whitelist'. See [here][1] for more information.
