Re-Install VPLEX VS2

I´ve got from Juergen the answer to look in the Procedure Generator looking for a systemreset-procedure.

Unfortunately he is on holiday and in the PG is no information. I also have to enable the VPlexadmin-commands. That works fine, but no procedure for Systemreset.

Nevertheless, there is the "configure system-reset" but there should be no more Metavolume on it. Is is riskless just to uninstall and remove all the metas and then use the system-reset command?

Cheerio,

Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,

You should first destroy the meta-volumes used for backup:

Example:

meta-volume destroy VNXWOL_META_backup_2014Jan27_223001

meta-volume destroy VNXWOL_META_backup_2014Jan27_203001

And then you can cleanup the active meta-volumes:

VPlexcli:/> script -i VPlexadmin

VPlexcli:/> configuration meta-volume-cleanup

Cleaning up the active meta-volume on a system is extremely disruptive and will result in the loss of all configuration data. There is no turning back or recovery from destroying meta-volumes. For safety, this command will not clean up meta-volume backups or non-active meta-volumes. If you are using this command as a step prior to a configuration system-reset, all non-active meta-volumes and meta-volume backups should be first destroyed using the meta-volume destroy command.

Are you sure you want to continue and delete the active meta-volume on this cluster? (Y/N):  Y

And then yoy can do the rest:

VPlexcli:/> configuration system-reset

And then wait for 15-20 minutes

Rgds,

Francis

Thank you Francis
