Uninitializing the system
Uninitializing the system is another way to shut down the system. This action causes the loss of all storage
system data. Since Command View EVA cannot communicate with the disk drive enclosures, the stored
data cannot be accessed. This destroys the storage system and all the data.
CAUTION:
Uninitializing the system destroys all user data. Any data stored on the system will be permanently
destroyed. 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
1. Press to scroll to the Shutdown Options menu.
2. Press to select the Shutdown Options menu.
