→ Applies to: Hyperion 9.x and above

IMPORTANT
This procedure will permanently erase all data on selected disks. Ensure you have identified the correct drives before proceeding.

Step 1. Physically remove storage pool disks from the server

Step 2. Create bootable USB (“How to Create a Bootable USB Drive with Hyperion”)

Step 3. Connect the USB stick to the physical server on which you want to install Hyperion

Step 4. Login to IPMI GUI

https://<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

Step 5. From System menu, click on Remote Control, then Launch Console

Step 6. Reboot the server then press “F11”

Step 7. Select to boot from USB device then press Enter

Step 8. Select Troubleshooting then press Enter

Step 9. Select Rescue SynetoOS then press Enter

Step 10. Type 3 to skip to shell and press Enter

Step 11. List and verify all drives partitions

lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

NAME    SIZE TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      80G disk 
├─sda1  512M part /boot/efi
├─sda2    2G part /boot
└─sda3 77.5G part /
sdb     100G disk 
├─sdb1  100G part 
└─sdb9    8M part 
sr0    1024M rom  
zram0     4G disk [SWAP]

Step 12. Stop RAID Arrays

mdadm --stop /dev/md*

Step 13. Erase sdisks signatures (replace <disk_name> with the correct disk name from Step 11).

wipefs -a /dev/<disk_name>

EXAMPLE

wipefs -a /dev/sda

wipefs -a /dev/sdb

wipefs -a /dev/sdc

This command must be run individually for every disk that needs to be formatted.

Step 14. Erase Disk Partition Table (replace <disk_name> with the correct disk name from Step 11).

sgdisk --zap-all /dev/<disk_name>

EXAMPLE

sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda

sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sdb

sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sdc

This command must be run individually for every disk that needs to be formatted.

Step 15. Shutdown the Server

Step 16. Physically attach the storage pool disks to the server
