With the second controller successfully installed, make the following settings:

• Redundancy Type – Set to Active-Active or Active-Standby.

See “Making Subsystem Settings” on page 101.

• LUN Affinity – If you choose Active-Active redundancy.

See “Making Controller Settings” on page 113

Note

The Vess subsystem boots its RAID controllers sequentially. With a second

controller installed, your subsystem takes about a minute longer to boot. This

condition is normal.
