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.

Credits go to LSI for the support!
