the device and its HBA are working properly. Make repairs and corrections
as needed. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance
provider.

Recovering a Switch
A switch can become inoperable or unmanageable for the following reasons:
Firmware becomes corrupt
IP address is lost
Switch configuration becomes corrupt
Forgotten password
In these specific cases, you can recover the switch using maintenance mode.
Maintenance mode temporarily returns the switch IP address to 10.0.0.1 and
provides opportunities to do the following:
Unpack a firmware image file
Restore the network configuration parameters to the default values
Remove all user accounts and restore the Admin account name password to
the default.
Copy the log file
Restore factory defaults for all but user accounts and zoning
Restore all switch configuration parameters to the factory default values
Reset the switch
Update the system boot loader
