DS3200 and DS3400 system reset

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!
