Can not force to destroy filesys, need DDOS USB Boot image file

Question

Howdy folks,

Could someone be so kind to share USB Boot img file for the re-install? Or maybe be able to provide instruction how to build it from DDOS RPM file, which I have? I have DD2200 with 6.1.2 version in my lab but without support. I have 5.5-6.2.1 rpm files for the upgrade but not the USB boot img files to rebuild. Just happened sometime ago, while filesys destroy with zero command was issued on that system but was interrupted before finished. Now, I am getting Error (256) in attempt to destroy the filesystem. And Error: <5011: No valid blkset found, ddr/sl/sl_fs.c, sl_fs_load_blkset_files, 7703> in the log. So kind of catch 22 for me. If anyone can help with either forcing to destroy or download/build usb img file, I will be grateful. Thanks.

I'd guess that creating a new filesystem and then deleting it also would do the trick? Assuming that still the deletion by itself is the goal or is to start to re-use the DD from scratch again?

No, OS did not let me. The pending error was preventing the creation of new FS. Found the required image and re-installed the OS. Funny, it identified DD as some light version and marked only half of the space available for use. Had to rollback all the way to 5.4, until got an error on the install - model was not available then. But going up for the new install 6.x version seems to solved the issue. It has been running since without problems.

Would you like to send me the usb image, I need to reinstall the DD200 because I can't redo the filesys and I can't find this image and Dell's support is very bad.
