Restarting the system

To restore the controller to an operational state, use the following procedure to restart the system.

Press

three times to scroll to the Shutdown Options menu.

Press

4.

Press Enter to go to Startup.
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.

1.

Press

three times to scroll to the Shutdown Options menu.

2.

Press

to display Restart.

3.

Press

twice to display Uninitialize System.

4.

Press

to display Uninitialize?

5.

Select Yes and press Enter. The system is now uninitialized.

Password options

The password entry options are:

Entering a password during storage system initialization (see

Setting up an HSV210-series

controller pair using the OCP

).

Showing the current password.

Changing a password (see

Changing a password

).
