Cisco ACI - Performing a Rebuild of an APIC

Cisco ACI - Performing a Rebuild of an APIC
NoBlameNetwork June 9, 2021 16 views 1 min read

I recently ran into an issue where I had to rebuild an APIC in our ACI Fabric, and needed to rebuild it entirely. 

The procedure is pretty simple, and I had ssh access to the device, so was able to complete it very quickly, you can also run this from the rescue-user either via ssh or console if all else fails.

Run the following 3 commands:

  1. acidiag touch clean
  2. acidiag touch setup
  3. acidiag reboot


Upon reboot it will bring you directly into the Setup Utility and you can add it back to the ACI Fabric.
