Taking Down a Drive
Caution:
This function is
only
for testing arrays and should
not
be used in
normal operation.
The Down Drive function sets the status of a drive in a fault-tolerant array to down.
This forces the controller to remove it from the array and marks the array as critical.
At this point, you will be unable to down any additional drives in the array.
To make the drive display again, you must use Rescan. See
Rescanning All Channels
on page 7-23. After you rescan, you must clear the metadata from the drive before
