Parameter

Description

information returns the storage array to its initial
state.

diskGroups

The setting to remove the virtual disk configuration
and the disk group configuration. The rest of the
configuration stays intact.

NOTE: When you run this command, the storage array becomes unresponsive, and all script
processing is cancelled. You must remove and re-add the storage array to resume communication
with the host. To remove an unresponsive storage array, access the Enterprise Management
Window, and click Edit → Remove. To re-add the storage array, access the Enterprise Management
Window, click Edit → Add Storage Array, and enter the appropriate IP addresses.

Clear Storage Array Core Dump

Description

This command sets a flag on a RAID controller module to allow a new core dump to overwrite an existing
core dump.

Syntax

set storageArray coreDumpAllowOverWrite

Parameters

None

Notes

When you retrieve a core dump from the RAID controller module cache to a host, a flag is set on the
RAID controller module to indicate that the core dump does not need to be retrieved. This setting persists
for 48 hours. If a new core dump occurs during that period, the new core dump is saved to the RAID
controller module cache and overwrites any previous core dump data in the cache.
You can use the set storageArray coreDumpAllowOverWrite command to set the RAID controller
module flag so that a new core dump overwrites any previous core dump. Without retrieving a core
dump, this command sets the flag by default.

Clear Storage Array Event Log

Description

This command clears the Major Event Log (MEL) for the storage array by deleting the data in the
MEL buffer.

CAUTION: As soon as you run this command, the existing MEL in the storage array is deleted.

Syntax

clear storageArray eventLog
