  • Return to Factory Install (RTFI)

Issue

  • After an RTFI (either manual or via upgrade of the Element storage cluster) or a firmware update using the Element Software Storage Firmware Bundle
  • An H-series storage node shows an incorrect Serial Number either on the node or in activeIQ support inventory:
  • Instead of the correct numerical Serial Number, (e.g., 3719123000077)  The serial number shows as an alphanumeric sequence resembling: HMxxxxxxx
  • Subsequent RTFI attempts do not correct the issue
