MPE Using the ARM Command Line Utilities for MPE Performing Disk Array Maintenance Tasks Switching Primary Controllers In dual-controller disk array configurations, the array automatically switches to the secondary controller if the primary controller fails. However, you can switch controllers manually if necessary. This will cause the secondary controller to assume the role of primary controller. To switch primary controllers, type: arraymgr -c { X | Y } Setting Data Resiliency The data map contents stored in the disk array controller NVRAM is copied to two disks on the array at regular intervals to protect against map loss. The interval at which the disks are updated with recovery map information is controlled using the data resiliency setting. Selecting a data resiliency setting involves making a tradeoff between data protection and performance. The more frequently the recovery maps are updated, the more impact it may have on performance. 148
