Resetting a Controller

The ability to reset the controller is a recovery option available in the event of serious controller errors. Resetting a controller makes it unavailable for input/output (I/O) until the reset has been completed. If a host is using volumes owned by the controller being reset, the I/O directed to the controller will be rejected. Before resetting the controller, either verify that the volumes owned by the controller are not in use or ensure that there is a multipath driver installed on all hosts using these volumes.

To reset a controller:

  1. Click Sun StorEdge 6130 Configuration Service.
  2. The Array Summary page is displayed.

  3. Click the array whose controller you want to reset.
  4. The Volume Summary page for the selected array is displayed.

  5. Click Physical Storage > Controllers.
  6. The Controller Summary page is displayed.

  7. Click Reset Controller for the controller you want to reset.
  8. A confirmation dialog box is displayed.

  9. Click OK.
