Description

This command resets the service assistant IP address to the default value. If the node or canister is active in a system, the superuser password for the system is reset; otherwise, the superuser password is reset on the node or canister.

If the node or canister becomes active in a system, the superuser password is reset to that of the system. You can configure the system to disable resetting the superuser password. If you disable that function, this action fails.

This action calls the satask chserviceip command and the satask resetpassword command.
