With the new DS3000-series on the market you sometimes need to reset them to defaults for configuration. I discovered that the option RESET is not available in the storage manager, while in the storage manager for the DS4000-series this was available. If you configure these boxes on a daily base the following text is a must read.

Sidenote: if you want to reset a DS4000-series use the command sysWipe on both controllers and sysReboot afterwards, these commands are done through the serial port.

Sidenote2: If you want to delete all licenses on the DS3000-series use the command safeSysWipe. Your box will work as new afterwards.

Credits go to LSI for the support!

From the Enterprise screen of the DS3000 DSM, go to the script editor and type (paste) the following :-

clear storageSubsystem configuration;

Verify and run, this will reset the configuration of the storage array.

If you want to run it from the DOS window, CD to the directory with the SMCLI executable , run SMCLI and add the IP address of the array you wan to reset and then run the same command. (You may need to use the “-c” switch after SMCLI  in this case.  The windows wont close , so a ctl C will be needed  once you are sure the array has reset !

If needed you can place the :- “clear storageSubsystem configuration;” into a file and run it from the dos windows using SMCLI –f <ip address> -f filename.

You will need to reset the controller IP address manually. The defaults are 192.168.128.101 and 102.
