Reverting Actors to Default State

In certain situations, such as moving an Actor between Directors, Actors may need to be reverted to their default state. This section includes instructions for reverting the Actor.

To Revert Actor to Default State Using vreset

For Actors, the vreset command is used to revert the Actor to its default state. Running vreset clears the Actor's registration. Therefore an Actor that processes a vreset will need to be re-registered with its Director before it can participate as part of the Validation Platform infrastructure.

1. Run vreset

   You should use the command line to log into the Actor

   (Mac Actors)

   • From a terminal window, run the following command:

     sudo /Users/Shared/Verodin/node/node/scripts/vreset.

     If you specified a different install location, modify the path to scripts accordingly.

2. (Linux Actors)

   • If the scripts directory is in the PATH, run the following command:

     sudo vreset

   • If the scripts directory is not in the PATH, run the following command, (modify the path if you changed the install location):

     $ sudo /opt/apps/verodin/node/node/scripts/vreset

3. The host will perform the vreset, removing the existing registration.

   The vreset command does not remove custom certs.
