Figure 2-5. Failed arrays removed; arrays on separate controllers

To restore an array to its original controller, make sure the conditions for
moving drives are met. Then:

IMPORTANT: These steps must be followed AS DESCRIBED. Any deviation
or mistake could result in the loss of all data across all moved arrays.

1. Power-down the system.

2. Move the array back to its original controller but retain its drive position

from the consolidated configuration.

3. Power-up the system.

4. Each controller will indicate a 1789 POST message, “Drives are

Missing.” Press F2 to fail the missing drives.

5. Run the Array Configuration Utility and remove the appropriate failed

arrays.

6. Reboot the system.
