Factory restore VNXe3100
I've been working on this for a couple of days, I'm hoping someone can help me out or at least point me in the right direction. I have a VNXe3100, two month ago it crashed and burned completely. Three drives failed all at once and I ended up having to send the drives off to a data recovery company to get my data back. Well I finally got my data back and I now have all new drives, how do I go about setting this box up now with all new drives? I have already put the box in service mode and I've tried running the svc_reinit command via SSH but it failed with the following error:
Could not stat /dev/mirrora4 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
ERROR: Failed to recreate service partition on peer!
Any suggestions?

Did you try from GUI ?
Prerequisites
Both Storage Processors (SPs) must be present in the VNXe system, operating normally, and be in Service Mode or you cannot perform this action. See Place a Storage Processor in Service Mode.
If you have removed an SP or an SP has faulted, you must replace it before placing it in Service Mode. See Replace a faulted hardware component.
Procedure
To reinitialize the system:
Click Settings > Service System.
Under System Components, select Storage System.
Under Service Actions, select Reinitialize.
Click Execute service action.
In the confirmation dialog box, click OK to start reinitializing the system.
Wait 90 to 120 minutes while the system is reinitialized. You can safely close Unisphere while the process is running.
When system reinitialization has completed, the system reboots and is ready to be configured.
Use the Connection Utility to establish an initial network connection to the VNXe system.
Log in to Unisphere and run the Configuration Wizard to reconfigure the system. If the system contains optional I/O modules, you must commit these modules before the ports associated with them are available for configuring Storage Servers. For information, refer to Commit system I/O components.
