Hello razif,

If you want to clear the volume, mappings, and cache configuration settings, you can use the "Storage Array" option listed here.

If you want to clear all configuration including network configuration and passwords information, you have to use the SMcli or SANtricity Storage Manager's Script Editor to run the command below:
clear storageArray configuration factoryReset;

See this document for more details.
