-reset
(Optional) Resets the enclosure on the canister.

Specify lsdependentvdisks - enclosure ID -canister ID to determine if access to the data for one or more volumes is dependent on the canister being reset . Using the -reset parameter might result in a loss of access to your drives (and data). Use it only under the direction of your product support group or representative.
-identify yes | no
(Optional) Changes the state of fault light-emitting diode (LED) either to or from slow_flashing.
