Chapter 11 Maintaining and Managing the SN 5428-2 Storage Router
Resetting the System
Resetting the System
There may be times when you need to return some or all of the storage router configuration to factory
defaults, for example, when moving a system between environments (such as test and production) or for
troubleshooting purposes.
To reset the SN 5428-2 Storage Router, perform the following steps:
Step 1 (Optional) Save existing configuration information to a file.
Step 2 Clear the current configuration and restore some or all factory defaults, using the clear conf command.
Note If the SN 5428-2 is operating in a cluster environment, any SCSI routing instances running on
this storage router fail over to another storage router in the cluster. If you are operating in a
cluster environment but do not want SCSI routing instances to fail over, issue the
no scsirouter enable command for all instances (or selected instances that should not fail over)
before you issue the clear conf command. (This will permanently delete the SCSI routing
instances from the cluster.) See “Controlling SCSI Routing Instances in a Cluster” for more
information about operating the SN 5428-2 in a cluster environment.
Step 3 (Optional) Run the initial configuration script to configure the management interface and other required
parameters via an EIA/TIA-232 console connection.
Step 4 Restore specific configuration information or reconfigure the storage router using CLI commands or the
web-based GUI.
Reset All to Factory Defaults
The following procedure clears the storage router and returns most settings to factory defaults. For
example, use this procedure if an existing storage router is to be physically moved to another
environment, and it is not necessary to retain any current configuration information, because the system
setup will be completely different.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
clear conf
or
clear conf all cisco
Clear the current system configuration, including network
management information.
If the storage router is deployed for SCSI routing, you can use the
clear conf wizard. At the prompt, enter the Administrator
password. Enter all to erase system configuration and management
port settings, and all saved configurations and SCSI routing
instances (Example 11-5).
If the storage router is deployed for transparent SCSI routing or
FCIP, enter the clear conf all command, followed by the
Administrator password (for example, cisco). This command is
also available in storage routers deployed for SCSI routing.
After either command completes, the storage router automatically
reboots.
