Replace Brick RAID Controllers

Pillar Data Systems Confidential
Note: When a Brick powers up, the FC and FLT LEDs blink.
When Guided Maintenance beacons the RAID controller to
identify it, Guided Maintenance:
• Blinks the FC and PWR LEDs.
• Lights the FLT LED solid amber.
Important!
Use Guided Maintenance to coordinate the
replacement of the target RAID controller. The Axiom system
must fail over a RAID controller and its Fibre Channel (FC)
ports to the partner controller before you can replace the
target RAID controller. This reconfiguration may cause some
performance degradation along user data paths until you
complete the replacement.

outlined in
