For dual-active controllers, when one controller has been discovered, and the other only partially discovered, the state of
the discovered controller is displayed in the Spheras Storage Director. You set the IP address of the partially discovered
controller here. If you do not set an address and a failover occurs, the status of the dual-active pair reverts to partially
discovered.
Note: The Warning dialog and the reboot only occur when controller properties are changed.

The Assisted and Manual Configure Unused Storage Wizards allow you to configure RAID systems. The Configure
Unused Storage with Assistance Wizard provides an option, which sets up a new array according to predefined
parameters, and asks you questions to gather the key information necessary to build the array. The Manual Storage
Configuration wizard provides you full control of all elements of the configuration process including SAN mapping.
It is recommended that you read both sections before proceeding to determine which configuration method is the most
suitable for your storage application. Also, it is recommended that you refer to Appendix B Detailed Information About

If you received an error message stating that the IP address was incorrectly entered,
do the following:
•
Check that you have the correct IP address for the server you want to connect
to, and re-enter the IP address.
•
Check your physical IP connection to make sure that it is intact and not loose.
•
Open a DOS Window and ping the IP address to see if it is functioning properly.
Click OK or press the Enter key to accept all of the changes in the General, Basic,
Advanced, Expert, Fibre, and IP Controller Properties or Cancel to discard them.
•
If a parameter was changed that requires a controller reset, a warning dialog
box opens. A reboot is required before the changes to the controller properties
take effect.
