Remaking the File System in Maintenance Mode

In the event of a loss of power, the switch configuration may become corrupt. The file system on which the configuration is stored must be re-created. This option resets the switch to the factory default values including user accounts and zoning. Refer to the Reset command in the SANbox 5000 Series Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide for the factory default values.

CAUTION! If you choose the Remake Filesystem option, you will lose all changes made to the fabric configuration that involve that switch, such as password and zoning changes. You must then restore the switch from an archived configuration or reconfigure the portions of the fabric that involve the switch.

5.5.8

Resetting the Switch in Maintenance Mode

This option closes the Telnet session, exits maintenance mode and reboots the switch using the current switch configuration. All unpacked firmware image files that reside on the switch are deleted.

5.5.9

Updating the Boot Loader in Maintenance Mode

This option updates the system boot loader which loads the Linux kernel into memory. Use this option only at the direction of your authorized maintenance provider.
