Dell MD3000 hosed

by axekick . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

Hey All,

I in my infinite wisdom nuked the access virtual disk on my Dell MD3000. So I no longer have any in-band way of administering the thing (my penance for not RTFM before I started to play). Unfortunately, that was also my only way of administering it since I never set up any out-of-band connections over the network. Luckily it was brand new so there’s no data to worry about losing.

I’ve gotten in via the console cable, but nothing listed in netHelp or the various other *Help categories seems to help me get an IP address assigned to the box itself so I might have a prayer of getting storagemanager to communicate with it again.
Anybody know how to drive in the console since the smcli commands only work if you actually have a connection to the box? Or am I totally hosed and have to call in the big dogs at Dell?

I was really hoping to find a “reset to factory default” option in there, but I sure can’t find one.

Thanks in advance!
