3. ICP Storage Manager Cautions and Notes
3.1 General Cautions
- While an array is being built or cleared, do not remove and
reinsert any drive from that array. Doing so may cause
unpredictable results for any of the controller's arrays.
- While a drive is being cleared, do not try to include it in a
new array. Doing so may cause unpredictable results.
- Do not move drives containing an array or volume from one
controller to another while the power is on. Doing so could
cause the loss of the array configuration or data, or both.
Instead, power off both affected controllers, move the drives,
and then restart.
- When using ICP Storage Manager and the CLI concurrently,
configuration changes may not appear in the ICP Storage
Manager GUI until you refresh the display (by pressing F5).
