No user input is required. The system will automatically initiate the startup procedure and proceed
to load the Storage System Name and World Wide Name information from the operational
controller.

Uninitializing the system

Uninitializing the system is another way to shut down the system. This action causes the loss of all
storage system data. Because HP Command View EVA cannot communicate with the disk drive
enclosures, the stored data cannot be accessed.
CAUTION:
Uninitializing the system destroys all user data. The WWN will remain in the controller unless both
controllers are powered off. The password will be lost. If the controllers remain powered on until you
create another storage system (initialize via GUI), you will not have to re-enter the WWN.
Use the following procedure to uninitialize the system.
1. Press three times to scroll to the Shutdown Options menu.
2.
Press to display Restart.
3. Press twice to display Uninitialize System.
4.
Press to display Uninitialize?
5. Select Yes and press Enter.
The system displays Delete all data? Enter DELETE:_______
6. Press the arrow keys to navigate to the open field and type DELETE and then press ENTER.
The system uninitializes.
NOTE:
If you do not enter the word DELETE or if you press ESC, the system does not uninitialize.
The bottom OCP line displays Uninit cancelled.
