Disabling a PFR600 RAID controller for removal
This feature is provided for PFR600 RAID chassis that have redundant RAID controller
modules installed. In the event that one of the RAID controllers appears operational, but
also reports faults through various log files and status indicators, you can choose to
disable the controller and replace it. Disabling the controller and removing it in this way
avoids interruptions in signal output that can occur if the module fails or if it is simply
hot swapped while it is the active controller. When the replacement RAID controller
module is installed, it is automatically enabled and becomes the backup controller.
NOTE: Refer to the PFR 600 Instruction Manual for procedures on removing and
replacing the RAID controller module.
To disable a controller:
1. Start the GVG Disk Utility.
2. Expand the tree view to display the controllers.
3. Right-click a controller icon in the tree view, then select
Advanced | Disable A
Controller
or
Disable B Controller
.
