2-9 Restoring an Array to Its Original Controller If you have moved an array from one controller to another, you can restore it to its original controller. Figures 2-4 through 2-6 show the consecutive configurations required to restore an array to its original controller (or to a replaced controller in the event of controller failure). Figure 2-4 shows the consolidated configuration that includes Array A with drive IDs 0 through 3 and Array B with drive IDs 4, 5, and 6. Moving Array B back to Controller 2 creates an interim four-array state, with Array B on Controller 1 and Array A on Controller 2 appearing as failed. Running Array Configuration Utility removes the "failed" arrays and restores the original two-array configuration.
