Well, somehow we managed to get out of the Emergency mode and delete the volume. Every move we made generated a cache flush error so it wasn't working. We saw we had some space occupide by snapshots however no menu or commandlet to view and delete those snapshots. Unable to delete possible snapshots Unable to delete volume Unable to extend volume Unable to reset to factory defaults   Solution ? we took out all the disks (os wasn't working anymore) and reconnected them after a while in the same order, so no swapping. After this, as we had another 6TB marked as free space, we were able to use the Expand-SCVolume command (maybe at this point the GUI would have worked also)  to add it to he volume which despite an error worked, or at least we din not had the Emergency mode shown anymore. We forced a reboot because it seemed the expand worked only half way and after that we were able to delete the volume.   So in the end not happy at all with this Dell Emergency mode/hostage mode. Very frustrating as the solutions given by dell did not worked in their own OS...
Hello everyone,we have a SC2020 that went into "emergency mode" or more exactly "hostage mode" since nothing gets in or out before solving the conflict. After some debating we may as well sacrifice the hostages in order to regain control.So my question is if there's a way to just reset everyting and start over since the unit is out of warranty and we do not want to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to support just for this. First of all we cannot get out from emergency mode because we do not have any room to add more disks.We tried deleting the volume but we are not able as it always tries to send it to the recycle bin (even if we check the option NOT to do it)We tried to reset to the factory settings but that doesn's work nither because some cache issue. It seems cache is also locked.So, as we have physical access to it, we were thinking of just reset it (if there even is such an option). Anyone already did this or has any other method of reusing the SAN?
