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. Password options The password entry options are: • Entering a password during storage system initialization (see "Entering the storage system password" (page 24)). • Displaying the current password. • Changing a password (see "Changing a password" (page 55)). • Removing password protection (see "Clearing a password" (page 56)). Changing a password For security reasons, you may need to change a storage system password. The password must contain eight to 16 characters consisting of any combination of alpha, numeric, or special. See "Entering the storage system password" (page 24) for more information on valid password characters. Use the following procedure to change the password. NOTE: Changing a system password on the controller requires changing the password on any HP Command View EVA with access to the storage system. 1. Select a unique password of 8 to 16 characters. 2. With the default menu displayed, press three times to display System Password. 3. Press to display Change Password? 4. Press Enter for yes. The default password, AAAAAAAA~~~~~~~~, is displayed. 5. Press or to select the desired character. 6. Press to accept this character and select the next character. HSV controllers 55
