Adding a Fibre Channel Controller: Existing System Powered Down

This procedure should be used for an existing, already configured, system and the system is powered off.

 

  1. Ensure the Cache Memory size is the same for existing and the new controller.

  3. In the StorView Embedded software, uncheck the Single Controller button within the advanced options page. An alarm will sound. 
  4. Insert the additional RAID controller. 
  5. Reconfigure mappings using the StorView Embedded software.
