maintenance --hardware [--reinit_nvram]
Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) is the type of memory that retains its contents even when power to it is turned off. This is an
important component of the DR Series system that is crucial to normal data operations
Description
Initializes the NVRAM that resides on the Dell DR Series system hardware appliance on which the DR Series system
software is installed.
CAUTION: Carefully consider before attempting to use the DR Series system CLI --reinit_nvram command. This
command should only be used under the direction of Dell Support because it permanently erases all data stored
on the NVRAM in the Dell DR Series system hardware appliance. This command is only to be used when replacing
the NVRAM in your hardware appliance. Contact Dell Support and seek assistance before you use this command.

maintenance --hardware [--motherboard_replaced]
Description
Updates the motherboard service tag on all signature partitions. The system must be in manual intervention mode for
this command to execute. This command applies to systems that have an external enclosure attached.
If a motherboard is replaced in the DR Series system, the service tag should be blank from service inventory. That
service tag should be reprogrammed to match the existing system service tag before the on-site technician leaves;
therefore, this command should not be required. However, if the service tag is changed for some reason, this command
will need to be executed to update the external drives to match the new service tag. A second scenario is when
migrating an enclosure from one DR Series system to another. This command would need to be executed to match the
migrated enclosures drives to the new service tag.
