Adding a Fibre Channel Controller: Existing System Powered Up

This procedure should be used for an existing, already configured, system and the system is powered on.
 
  1. Ensure the Cache memory size is the same for the existing and the new controller.
  2. Ensure that the firmware of the new and old controllers are the same.  The firmware of the original controller will be loaded to the new controller if it is different.
  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.
  6. Ensure performance settings within the arrays are now correct.
