NS-120 Restore to Factory default
Hi All,
Is there a way to restore the Celerra NS-120 to factory default? We have a lot of file systems that we cant delete, we get errors now even opening the volumes page.
I was wondering if we can just restore EMC to the state in which it was shipped, by leaving the first five disks untouched.
Thank you
Svetlana

Светлана,
i am afraid you will need to get in touch with you local EMC CE as they have the media to reinstall DART, re-image control stations.

Not really – you would have to do a new install of DART which also requires a backend cleanup
If you are an authorized service partner then you should have access to the procedures and code to do so

Yes, we have tried that but it gives an error....we also have two pools which we cant delete by command line either
This is what happens when I try deleting one of the file systems:
Thanks!

Sounds like you broke it
I suggest to open a service request to get it fixed or DART re-installed

You got my name in Russian
Thank you for your reply dynamox. Is there no way to just restore the other disks to their factory default without touching the DART? The control station GUI and everything else is operating just fine. It is just the file system that we cant delete on the other disks
Thanks again!

Yes we can reser the celerra to factory defaults.
There is a primus document ..
Following procedure can be used to reset celerra to factory defaults..
Impact Performing a backend cleanup and factory reinstallation of NAS on an NX4 Celerra
Environment Product: Celerra NX4 Network Server
Product: CLARiiON AX4-5F8 Array
Feature: CLARiiON NaviExpress Storage Management interface
EMC SW: NAS Code 5.6.39.x
EMC SW: NAS Code 6.0.36.4 or later
Feature: Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA)
Cause The purpose of this solution is to assist users in performing a fresh reinstallation of an NX4 system when Navisphere Express is the management tool being used.
Caution! NX4 systems are pre-installed and pre-configured by EMC Manufacturing. Normally, this solution will not be necessary, except for rare situations that could require a complete system reinstallation.
Change Performing a factory reinstallation of NAS code
Resolution
The normal Celerra "deconfiguration" and "backend cleanup" of a Celerra Storage Group, LUNs, RAID groups, and Initiator records, can be achieved under most circumstances by using the following procedure:
Note: Serial Console port is located on the right-hand side of the Control Station when viewed from the back of the system, indicated by a "wrench" symbol.
Comment: Main purpose here is to get the SP IP configuration back on the private internal network in order for the factory installation to succeed.
# /nasmcd/sbin/clariion_mgmt -stop
Checking if running as root...yes
Checking if model is supported...yes
Checking for integrated system...yes
Checking if interface eth3 is configured...yes
Checking if SP (192.1.4.231) is up...yes
Checking if SP (192.1.4.232) is up...yes
Step 1/12: Changing SPA IP address.
Changing SPA IP from 192.1.4.231 to 128.221.252.200 (subnetmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 128.221.252.104)
--------------output abridged-------------
Note: If the command fails, run the command again with the following additional syntax:
# /nasmcd/sbin/clariion_mgmt -stop -skip_rules
# /nasmcd/sbin/clariion_mgmt -info
Error 12: Not configured
# unset NAS_DB
# /sbin/service nas stop
Note: For FC-enabled systems where additional storage has been configured for Other Hosts, the nas_raid cleanup script will not touch other Storage Groups, and will leave Array Security and Access Logix intact and enabled.
# cd /tftpboot/setup_backend
# ./nas_raid -n ../bin/navicli -a -b -s cleanup
Log will be created in the current directory
System 128.221.252.200 is up
System 128.221.253.201 is up
Detecting Data Movers...2 3 Done.
Clariion Array: SL7E1080700121 Model: AX4-5F8 Memory: 1023
!!! WARNING !!!
The CLARiiON array connected to this Celerra control station
contains an existing configuration. "Celerra_nx4"
This could include user data.
If you continue by selecting 'y' to cleanup the system at the
next prompt all existing CLARiiON configuration for Celerra_nx4 will be
destroyed and the system will have to be reinstalled.
Proceed with caution!
!!! WARNING !!!
Do you want to clean up the system [yes or no]?: yes
Cleaning Storage Group "Celerra_nx4"
Removing LUN ............
Removing diskgroup ...
Removing initiators ....
Removing storage group "Celerra_nx4"
Removing spares
Security domain removed
Done
Note: If the tftpboot directory is not present, unzip, and untar from the /nas/tools directory
# tar xvfz /nas/tools/tftpboot.tar.gz
# rm -f /etc/rc3.d/S95cable_check
If for some reason, the nas_raid cleanup command fails to clean up the Celerra storage from the array, and the system is managed by Navisphere Express, use the following steps to break down the backend array:
Connection Name
Celerra_emcnas_i0
Note: Disk Pools are equivalent to RAID Groups, and are named differently from RAID Groups typically seen on other NAS systems. For example, there is no RG0, only "Disk Pool 1", "Disk Pool 2", and the like.
