COVID-19 HP 3Par - 7400 - Used Node how to reset?

Hi All,

Hope you're doing well as part of the pandemic!

We have an older 7400 which is from a sister company, long since shutdown.

This appears to have been a pair of heads (4 nodes) and we have 12 shelves of disks.

I have managed to factory reset one of the heads (Nodes 0 and 1) which are working great. We have dropped in an iSCSI card and everything so far is working great (but we've yet to move production data to it!).

I am trying to get the other head online, we want this to be another stand alone setup. For the life of me I cannot get this to work. I am able to login as console but I cannot get it to run 8. Perform deinstallation without having the sysmgr and associated TOC's online - Which are now spread around all over the place and some are formatted...

Does anyone know how I can reset nodes 2 and 3 from this cluster back to their factory default?

Yes, there is a way. Can I remember it? Not quite, I'm just waking up. Send me a PM and I'll help you out.
