Configuration 39
Hot Swap Pause
CAUTION: This command halts active I/O to the host!
DO NOT stay in the Hot Swap Pause mode for an extended period of time.
An operating system time-out may occur (time varies according to the
O/S). For example, Windows NT has a time limitation (during I/O activity)
of 10 seconds.
NOTE: Always use the Hot Swap Pause option before removing or replacing any
drives in an array to ensure data integrity.
This command (Figure 24) allows the user to pause activity on the controller. Hot Swap Pause
suspends activity on all device channels used in the controller, thereby assuring data integrity
on the connected drives and arrays.
1. From the Utilities Menu, select Hot Swap Pause and press Enter.
2. Once the drive has been replaced, resume SCSI bus activity by pressing Esc, EXIT,
ß, or Ctrl-Z.
