Changing Controller Ownership of an Array

Use this option to change the controller ownership of a selected array.

Important:

Caution: If you do not use a driver that understands multiple I/O paths to a logical drive, shut down any host applications that are currently using this array to prevent application errors when the I/O path changes.


How to Change Controller Ownership

To change controller ownership, select an array in the Logical View, then either (1) select the Array >> Change Ownership pull-down menu option and select the controller from the fly-out menu, or (2) Select Change Ownership from the right-mouse pop-up menu, then select the controller from the fly-out menu.

Result: The ownership of the array is changed. I/O to the logical drives is now directed through this I/O path.

Important: Under certain operating system environments, it may be necessary to reconfigure the host driver before this I/O path can be used.
