This seems like a long shot, but we are attempting to repurpose our out-of-warranty SC8000 system. We replaced this with a PowerStore SAN a couple of years ago, but are looking to use the SC8000 for a lab environment. I started the process of resetting by using these commands on the main controller:

shellaccess developerplatform init hsn set [new HSN]platform init ssn set [new SSN]cs purge all-reset

The system reset, I was able to pull up the unisphere webpage, and I started the configuration using the storage manager client. I am currently stuck at applying a license file. I have a copy of a license file for the system, but it is a pre 6.7 license and won't import on 7.5.2.8.

I haven't done any of the reset procedures on the other controller in the system. I can still login and see all of the information. Is there any way to backup the current license file to reset the entire system and start over? Or is there a way to clear the configuration on the second controller but retain the license and re-add the first controller that was reset?

Any help would be appreciated!
