these circumstances:
• Adding one or more controller node pairs to upgrade the storage system
• Replacing one or more failed node drives within a controller node
IMPORTANT: In rare instances, a replacement node drive is not recognized as being blank, which

rescue process does not start automatically, contact your authorized service provider.
