No user input is required. The system will automatically initiate the startup procedure and proceed to
load the Storage System Name and World Wide Name information from the operational controller.
Uninitializing the system
Uninitializing the system is another way to shut down the system. This action causes the loss of all storage
system data. Because HP Command View EVA cannot communicate with the disk drive enclosures,
the stored data cannot be accessed.
CAUTION:
Uninitializing the system destroys all user data. The WWN will remain in the controller unless both
controllers are powered off. The password will be lost. If the controllers remain powered on until you
create another storage system (initialize via GUI), you will not have to re-enter the WWN.
Use the following procedure to uninitialize the system.

Press
three times to scroll to the Shutdown Options menu.

Press
to display Restart.
3.
Press
twice to display Uninitialize System.
