Administering the Array
Overview
During the operational life of the array, you may have a need to make additions or
changes to certain array update or management functions. For example:
rebuilding redundancy in the array after a failed drive is replaced
running a consistency check to verify data and parity information
resetting controllers after a configuration change occurs
initialize new system drives
increase the array capacity
change the write policy
duplex configurations, bringing a partner controller back into service after
replacement
duplex configurations, kill the partner controller
Most of these functions are performed from the Administration menu, or in some
cases, the Configuration menu.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to use these functions during I/O activity. Allow at
least five seconds after I/O activity has ceased for all writes in the
write cache to be written to the disk.
