Rebooting the Controller
You may need to shut down and restart the controller after you
make certain configuration changes or when you move the
controller or make hardware changes.
We strongly recommend that you shut down the controller
gracefully (by following these steps) and do not just turn off the
power. A normal shutdown ensures that the write-back cache has
been flushed to the disk.
Caution: Anyone accessing an array when you shut down
!
the controller will lose access and may lose data.
To shut down and restart the controller:
1
From the System Menu, select Shutdown/Restart and press
Enter.
The system confirms that you want to shut down.
2
Select Yes and press Enter.
The system confirms that it has shut down.
3
Press Enter to reboot.
The system performs its self-test. When you see the Adaptec
Disk Array Administrator System Menu, the controller is ready.
