Failed arrays removed; arrays on separate controllers
To restore an array to its original controller, make sure the conditions for
moving drives are met. Then:
IMPORTANT:
These steps must be followed EXACTLY. Any deviation or
mistake could result in the loss of all data across all moved arrays.
1.
Power system OFF.
2.
Move the array back to its original controller, but retain its drive
position as it was in the consolidated configuration.
3.
Power system ON.
4.
Each controller will indicate a 1789 POST message that drives are
missing. Press
F2
to fail the missing drives.
5.
Run Array Configuration Utility and remove the appropriate “failed”
arrays.
6.
Reboot the system.
