Killing the Other Controller
CAUTION: The Kill Other option should only be used a last resort to regain control of
the other controller. Use of Kill Other may disrupt host I/O activity. If the
other controller needs to be taken offline, always try a local shutdown or
use the Shutdown Other optionfirst.
This function allows the user to force (nongracefully) the other controller offline (causing the
other controller to assume control of its arrays).
To kill the other controller:
1. Select Other Controller Menu from the System Menu and press Enter.
The Other Controller Menu is only available if the system is configured to run in Active-
Active Mode.
The Other Controller Menu should now display (Figure 63).
2. Select Kill Other and press Enter.
The system will now confirm the change.
3. Select Yes and press Enter to make the change.
The other controller should now shut down.
4. Press Esc to return to the Other Controller Menu screen.
Unkilling the Other Controller
NOTE: If the other controller was unplugged then plugged back in (or replaced by a different
controller), the surviving controller will aotmatically unkill the other controller.
This function allows the user to bring the other controller back online by allowing it to complete
booting. This option is primarily used to allow a controller that was previously killed (either due
to errors or manually) to come back online.
To unkill the other controller:
1. Select Other Controller Menu from the System Menu and press Enter.
