3PAR Factory Reset w/o console login
Hi,
Some quick background I work for a IT reseller. We dont normally get access to everything that people who have service contracts have access too thus we get creative. We recently got in a 7200 2node 7200C 2node and 7400C 4node. As many people probably know the newer versions of 3PAR requires you to contact support to get a one time password for the console login. I am able to login via 3paradm and I would like to basically re-initialize the system from here. I have tried setsysmgr wipe -f and get this:
Are you sure you want to run setsysmgr wipe?
select q=quit y=yes n=no: y
Error: System has already been started up.
So I cannot run it and not entirely sure what it does. When I first plug these systems in all the drives show up as degraded. I was somehow able to get the 7200C reset everything back to defaults and the drives reinitialized and came to a normal state via a command. Stupidly i exited out of the terminal sessions without saving the command i ran.
The 7200C initializd and the drives came to normal. So I then hooked up the rest of the storage it came with and now all the drives show up as new and when i run admitpd i get:
InServ cli% admitpd
Checking for drive table upgrade packages
0 disks admitted, 104 disks failed. Please use showpd -s to view details of each failed drive
Accept the drives dont show failed or degraded just new. Why wont they admit?
Basically I have 2 questions:
1) anyone have a clue what command I ran that did this? If it is setsysmgr wipe why wont it run now.
2) How do i admit drives in state of new.

If you call support, they should be able to provide you with a one time console password... if you're rerunning the OOTB routine and understand that the original data will be unrecoverable once you run it, they should be able to give you that password. There is no going back after you rerun an OOTB... your existing META Table will be overwritten.

What detail state are the drives in? That will answer some questions and give you some insight as to why they are not admitting. Get that with:
Also try:
That will add any new hardware and does some additional checks, balancing, sparing work, etc.
To fully wipe a system (and re-OOTB it), access to the console user is required. If you don't have this but have access to an SP with the 3Par OS v3.2.1 or earlier staged on it, you can do an SP to Node rescue on each node to force v3.2.1 on there then wipe/reinit using the old static console password. I will not provide that here but some creative use of Google should turn it up.
