Functions requiring special attention in an HA two-system RAID configuration
Manual intervention might be required on the system or partition containing secondary controller to get visibility to the new configuration.
Many configuration and serviceability functions need to be performed on the system or partition containing the primary controller. Any functions performed on the system or partition containing the primary controller might also require some manual intervention on the system or partition containing secondary controller to get visibility to the new configuration.
The following table lists some of the common functions and the
required steps to perform on the secondary controller:
| Function performed on primary controller | Required configuration on secondary controller |
|---|---|
| Format device for advanced function | No configuration steps needed |
| Format device for JBOD function | No configuration steps needed |
| Create Disk Array | No configuration steps needed |
| Delete Disk Array1 | Issue the SCSI Stop Unit command to the array sg_start --stop /dev/sdX |
| Add disks to Disk Array | No configuration steps needed |
| Reconstruct Disk Array | No configuration steps needed |
| Create/Delete Hot Spare disk | No configuration steps needed |
| Add disk (Hot Plug Manager) | No configuration steps needed |
| Remove disk (Hot Plug Manager) | No configuration steps needed |
| Reclaim Controller Cache Storage | No configuration steps needed |
