EMC CX700... can anyone help?

[farscapesg1]

We got a CX700 SAN unit from an old project that upgraded to a new system. Unfortunately, the people that took "decommissioned" it didn't label anything or keep track of it when they took it apart and now we have to put it back together

We have finally gotten it pieced back together enough to power it on and get into the Navisphere console, but it still has all the configuration settings from when it was set up... and at the moment it is missing two enclosures so it keeps throwing out failure codes.

Anyone familiar with the CX700 and can give me any help on blowing out the configuration so we can set it up from scratch with the enclosures we have? I've been able to delete all the LUNs, groups, etc. but I can't get it to stop looking for the missing enclosures.....

Most arrays have set procedures for removing hardware. If these are not followed then they can spit out errors.

Did you install the DAE's in the correct order? Why are two enclosures missing? Is it still under support?

It sounds like the array has only just been set up by you, if so, try rebooting the array, not an in-turn reboot but a full reboot.
