Big-IQ discovery address

Hello, I have a problem trying to discover our DCD devices. I configured on initial setup a discovery address and I'd like to change it, but can't find the way. I made a mistake and now have a duplicate address on Big-IQ and DCD. Trying to change or deleting it, get an error because it's the discovery address and can't delete it. The error only says that to change it go to "System --> Device". How can I modify that ip? Tried a factory default but I can't get access to initial setup.

    I've just had the same issue - you go to System --> Device and then click Edit but you cannot add another discovery address. I've had to destroy the VM and rebuild it

     

    Surely there must be a way to change a discovery address without the need for this.

    One option to change the discovery address is to re-run the setup wizard - /ui/setup/wizard. I had to do this when needing to change the discovery address from mgmt IP to self-IP after an initial build.

      Thanks Tim. I solved my problem using "clear-rest-storage -d -l" but I will keep this in mind for the next time.
