4. Click OK to continue.
The RAID controller is disabled. You can check controller status in the Disk
Utility. You may need to refresh the display.
5. Remove and replace the disabled RAID controller module.
Refer to procedures in the PFR700 Instruction Manual.
6. On inserting the replacement RAID controller, it initializes and is automatically
enabled to become the “backup” RAID controller.
This concludes the Disabling a PFR700 RAID controller for removal procedure.
NOTE: If you accidentally disable the wrong controller, you can enable it again by
removing it and then replacing it in the chassis.
Disabling a PFR 700 disk module for removal
In the event that one of the PFR700 disk modules is operational, but begins to report
faults through various log files and status indicators, you can choose to disable the disk
module and remove it. Disabling the disk module and removing it in this way avoids
momentary interruptions in signal output that can occur if the disk fails. The disabled
state is persistent and the disk remains disabled even if the RAID chassis is restarted.
After replacing the disabled disk module, the disk rebuild process starts automatically,
which also enables the disk module.
To disable a PFR700 disk module for removal:
1. Start GVG Disk Utility.
2. Expand the tree view to display bound disks.
3. Right-click the disk module icon, then select Advanced | Disable Drive .
