Clariion AX4-5F security reset? Or how to un-initialize it?
Hello all!
My department has inherited a Clariion AX4-5F disk processor enclosure (product number 100-562-104), which is carrying inside of it two fibre-channel Storage Processors (each one them with two fibre-channel ports), and also comes with 12 SAS 3.5" 146 GB @15Krpm disks. It comes from another department which has been shut down, and we do not have the login credentials to this storage system.
Also, the data inside of this storage system is of no value to our department.
So I would like to put this storage system to use as a test storage system for the internal projects in our department, but when I try to connect with a browser to the Navisphere Express in either storage processor A or B, a login screen appears and we cannot get access because the credentials needed are unknown to us.
Also, when I run the "EMC Unisphere Storage System Initialization Wizard", it detects the storage system but says it is already initialized and cannot proceed further.
And finally, the support contract the old department had with EMC has run out, so we are out of support with them.
So the questions I have are:
1. Is it possible to un-initialize this storage system, in a self-service fashion (i.e., without involvement from EMC support services)?
2. How can I reset the login credentials in order to gain access to this storage system using the already working Navisphere Express which are running on both Storage Processors?
3. Should I just give up, yank out the SAS hard disks, and send this storage system to the recycler company?
Thank you very much for your help!
