omconfig Reset Controller Configuration
Use the following omconfig command syntax to reset the controller
configuration.
CAUTION: Resetting a configuration permanently destroys all data on all virtual
disks attached to the controller. System or boot partition residing on these virtual
disks will be destroyed. You may receive a warning message if this command
results in deleting the system or boot partition. However, this warning message is
not generated in all circumstances. Ensure that you are not deleting the system or
boot partition or other vital data when using this command.
Complete Syntax
omconfig storage controller action=resetconfig
controller=id
where id is the controller ID as reported by the omreport storage controller
command.
In some circumstances, you may receive a warning message if this command
deletes the system or boot partition. You can override this warning by using
the force=yes parameter. In this case, the syntax is as follows:
omconfig storage controller action=resetconfig
controller=id force=yes
Example Syntax
To reset the configuration on controller 1, enter:
omconfig storage controller action=resetconfig
controller=1
