Changing the lockdown mode

You can use the Flex Appliance Console to change the lockdown mode on a Flex appliance. Note the following restrictions:

Lockdown mode does not block access to the remote management (IPMI) port. Cohesity recommends that you set up your network to restrict access and only allow security administrators or the users that manage the physical hardware to use the port.
Only a security administrator can change the lockdown mode.
To change from enterprise mode to normal mode, you must first delete all WORM storage instances.
To change from compliance mode to enterprise mode or normal mode, you must first expire all data on the WORM storage instances, and then delete the instances.

Note:

If you have a multi-node appliance, make sure that all nodes are configured before you enable lockdown mode.

To change the lockdown mode

Sign in to the Flex Appliance Console as a security administrator and click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the page, then click Lockdown mode.
On the Lockdown mode page, click Edit.
Select the mode that you want to enable and click Save.
