Resetting The Switch In Maintenance Mode (Option 7); Updating The Boot Loader In Maintenance Mode (Option 8) - HP StorageWorks SN6000 Installation And Reference Manual

NOTE: If you choose the Remake Filesystem option, you will lose all changes made to the fabric
configuration that involve that switch, such as password and zoning changes. You must then restore the
switch from an archived configuration or reconfigure the portions of the fabric that involve the switch.

Resetting the switch in maintenance mode (option 7)

The Reset Switch option closes the Telnet session, exits maintenance mode, and reboots the switch using
the current switch configuration. All unpacked firmware image files that reside on the switch are deleted.

Updating the boot loader in maintenance mode (option 8)

The Update Boot Loader option updates the system boot loader which loads the Linux kernel into memory.
Use this option only at the direction of your authorized maintenance provider.
