When booting a controller node,
the controller reports that it is
entering Safe Mode. After
entering Safe Mode, the
controller does not report the
presence of any drives or
devices.
The Intel management
applications do not present or
report the HA options and
properties.
Drives are not reported in a

matches the controller hardware.
Obtain an HA-compatible
version of the management

representative.
Make sure you are following the
cabling configuration guidelines
listed in Section - Cabling
Configurations.
The VD or drive group can be
seen and managed on the other
