This question pertains to both 2.5.x and 3.x. I posted here so I could grab the attention of both audiences.
How can someone go about resetting the availability report log of their ESX servers back to zero? Reason we are interested in doing this is after performing all the updates and patches and configuration changes associated with deploying a new ESX server we want to start calculating the uptime based on the host once all these steps have been completed and the host is considered production ready and in production so these reboots and system starts are only calculated starting from the time the machine goes live.
I did a search but came up dry. I figured this would be rather obvious.
Thanks

Nobody have any ideas on this? I apologize if this has been answered somewhere previously in this forum on in a kb article but I did not see anything.

Thanks. I went back and searched again and I must have typed availability wrong or something because it came up this time. When I searched the other day it kept telling me no records could be found.
