HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide

restore defaults

Description Restores the default configuration to the controllers. For use by or with direction from a service

technician.

For details about which settings are restored see "Settings changed by restore defaults" (page 521).

If the system contains only one controller module when the command is issued, the system’s

redundancy mode will be set to Single Controller mode.

CAUTION: This command changes how the system operates and might require some

reconfiguration to restore host access to volumes.
