Uninitializing the Storage System
Uninitializing is another way to shut down the storage system. This action will
cause the loss of all storage system data. After uninitializing the storage system, it
will be necessary to reinitialize the storage system using Command View EVA.
Caution: Uninitializing the storage system destroys all user data. Any data
stored on the system will be permanently destroyed.
If the controllers remain powered On until you reintialize the storage system,
you will not have to reenter the WWN. If the controllers are powered Off, the
WWN will be lost and it will be necessary to reenter it using the OCP. The
