Restoring disk controller configuration

Do this task when replacing the disk controller board.

This task can be used on any K2 Summit system, but it is required on any system that has a Type II (ADLINK) CPU carrier module. This includes the first generation K2 Summit system, which can have a Type II CPU carrier module that was installed in the factory or that was upgraded in the field.

Note: This procedure is intended for use by Grass Valley Service personnel or under the direct supervision of Grass Valley Service personnel.
After you replace a disk controller board, you must import the configuration information from the existing disks. This allows the new board to see the LUNs as previously configured.
  1. After replacing the disk controller board, power up the K2 Summit system. Ignore SNFS messages that can open at any time during this procedure.
  2. On the Windows desktop, open the MegaRAID Storage Manager icon.
  3. When prompted, enter administrator credentials. The MegaRAID Storage Manager main window opens.



  4. In the MegaRAID Storage Manager main window tree-view, verify that drives are reported as "Unconfigured Drives".
  5. In the tree-view, right-click the top controller and select Scan For Foreign Configuration. A Foreign Configuration Detected dialog box opens.



  6. Make sure Import is selected and click OK. A Foreign Configuration Wizard opens.



  7. Click Accept.
  8. When prompted "...import?", click Yes.
  9. When informed "...imported successfully", click Yes.
  10. In the MegaRAID Storage Manager main window tree-view, verify that one controller reports configured drives and one controller reports unconfigured drives.
  11. For the controller with unconfigured drives, repeat previous steps to import the foreign configuration.
  12. When you have imported the foreign configuration for both controllers, click File | Exit to close MegaRAID Storage Manager.
  13. Restart the K2 Summit system.
