Erasing Ports and Controller Configuration
Note: When selecting this setting, all previous configuration settings are returned to
their factory default settings including the current protocol selection. Emulex
recommends performing this action to provide a clean environment for new
configuration settings to take effect.
To erase the ports and controller configuration:
1. On the Controller Configuration screen (Figure H-2), press to restore the
factory default settings. A warning appears asking if you want to erase the current
configuration for all ports of the controller.
2. Press to delete the configuration. You will receive another warning asking you
to confirm the permanent removal of the controller configuration.
3. Press to delete the configuration.
To exit the PXESelect utility after erasing the ports and controller configuration:
1. Follow the instructions on the bottom of the individual menu screens until you are
prompted to exit.
2. Press to exit. Depending on what settings were changed, a reboot may be
necessary.
Note: For older systems, depending on the memory allocation method supported,
the PXESelect utility automatically reboots even when there are no changes
made to the system.
