Attention:
Possible loss of data access – Before you replace the controllers, make sure that any
premium features that are installed and any configuration of objects in the storage management
software can be supported with your new controllers. Failure to do this will result in an out-of-
compliance condition or configuration errors. Contact technical support if you encounter
configuration errors.
Attention:
Possible loss of data access – If any controller that you are replacing manages any
secure volumes, the new controller needs the correct security key to manage those volumes. After
you replace the controller and restore power to the controller-drive tray, you can use SANtricity
Storage Manager to load the key from the file in which it was saved. Be sure that such a file exists
and that you know the pass phrase required to install the security key before you replace the
controller.
To complete this procedure, you will need antistatic protection and one or two new controller
canisters. You might also need new controller batteries. If your new controller canisters do not have
the same host interface cards as the controller canisters you are replacing, you might need new host
bus adapters, cables and Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers to re-cable your host
connections. If the new controller canisters support different drive cabling from the old controller
canisters, you might also need different drive cables.
