Hello All,

I am sorry if this has been asked here before. I have been trying to search for a solution but to no avail.

I have a vnxe3100 what has been in use for some time. I decided to set it up for my lab, and initially when I logged in, It has whole bunch of old configuration etc. which I didn't need so I just quickly googled and on how to factory reset the system.

I basically put both the controllers in service mode, and then clicked on reinitialize. That was 5 days ago, I have since not been able to get the the system back up again.

I tried using the connection utility, and using the usb stick to assign the ip address and that didn't work either.

I tried doing svc_reinit & svc_reimage from cli(using the serial cable and service login) but I am not getting anywhere.

Any idea on what I can/should do? it was working fine prior to me reinitializing..

Output of svc_diag
