Use the Reset Storage System Configuration option to delete the configuration that was set at the factory before manually or automatically configuring the . This option also lets you correct configuration errors that cannot be corrected by using any other method.
Resetting the storage subsystem configuration causes these conditions to occur:
All logical drives and are deleted.
The user-supplied name is deleted.
If you have password-protected your storage subsystem for destructive operations, that password protection is lost.
Attention:
Possible loss of data access – When you use this option, all data currently stored on the storage subsystem is lost. Do not attempt this operation unless
all data on the storage subsystem has been backed up to tape or to another storage subsystem.
Important:
Use this option only under the guidance of a representative.
Perform these steps after resetting the storage subsystem configuration. Keep these guidelines in mind before proceeding.
If communication with your storage subsystem is through a host agent and you changed any default assignments for an , then those LUN assignments return to their default settings (usually LUN 7 or LUN 31). Because the LUN assignments change,
the storage subsystem is to any running the host-agent software (if they are using the changed LUN assignments).
To reestablish a connection to the storage subsystem, find a responsive management path (for example, one that can still detect
the storage subsystem), change the LUN assignments back, and reboot the host. If there is no responsive management path, you
must reboot the host so the host-agent recognizes the default LUN assignment for the . On some operating systems, it is necessary to create a storage partition, run the , and start and stop the host-agent software to re-create the access logical drive. After this action is done, delete and
add the host in the Enterprise Management Window to re-establish communication with the storage subsystem.
