Remaking the File System in Maintenance Mode (Option 6)
If there is a loss of power, the switch configuration could 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. For information about the factory default values, refer to the
Reset command in the QLogic 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch Command
Line Interface Guide.
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.
