Hitachi Vantara recommends not to perform the "New Installation" procedure on second-hand systems.
Performing the "New Installation" procedure on used or second-hand systems is not recommended due to potential configuration, licensing, and warranty concerns.
A customer can make a request to Hitachi Vantara Technical Support for a "New Installation" procedure, if they want to reinitialize a system entirely so all former data will be erased.
Customers may request Technical Support to perform a "New Installation" to fully reinitialize the system, which erases all existing data and restores factory settings.
