### Restore Array Defaults Button (Clear Array Information)

The Restore Array Defaults button on the Administration>General page clears all system labels, configuration settings, and volume information for the selected array.

You typically use this button if you want to return your arrays to their initial default state. You must then reconfigure the array when the Restore Array Defaults operation is complete.

Consider the following:

- Perform all reconfigurations while the system is offline and prevented from accepting I/O operations from the host system (that is, I/O operations have been quiesced).
- System reconfigurations involve power cycling of storage arrays.
- Evacuate any data stored on the arrays before removing trays. If you are adding trays, you might want to back up your existing data on the arrays.
