Omconfig Controller Commands

The following table provides the omconfig command syntax required to execute controller tasks.
  • CAUTION: The omconfig storage controller action=resetconfig controller=id resets the controller configuration. Resetting the controller configuration permanently destroys all data on all virtual disks attached to the controller. System or boot partition residing on these virtual disks is destroyed.
