Remaking the File System in Maintenance Mode (Option 6)
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. The Remake
Filesystem option resets the switch to the factory default values, including user
accounts and zoning. Refer to the Reset command in the SANbox 5802V Fibre
Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide for the factory default values.
Resetting the Switch in Maintenance Mode (Option 7)
The Reset Switch 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.
Updating the Boot Loader in Maintenance Mode (Option 8)
The Update Boot Loader 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.
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.
