Selecting a Server to Manage a Controller When you assign a server to manage a controller, information regarding
the managing server is produced. Sun StorEdge Configuration Service
stores this information on a controller and uses it to keep track of
the managing server. In the event a server is shut down, for maintenance
for example, and you try to assign another server to manage the controller,
Sun StorEdge Configuration Service reads the stored server information
from the controller and warns you that the controller is being managed
already. You can view the managing server name by choosing the firmware application menu called view
and edit Host luns > Edit Host-ID/WWN Name List. Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware
User's Guide for your array for information about accessing the firmware application. If you want to change a server assignment, for example, because you
are moving an array to a new location, before you move the array,
you need to unassign the managing server following the steps in To
Unassign the Managing Server If you have already moved the array, when the array starts up, you
might see a warning message that the controller is already being managed
by another server. Because the "force" option doesn't unassign the agent of the
original server, only override the current server assignment after you
have unassigned the original managing server. If you do not manually unassign
the original server, it continues to monitor and manage the unit along with
the new server. After you have unassigned a server, you can also manually delete the server following
the steps in To Manually Delete a Server Using the Terminal
Window. Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family RAID Firmware User's
Guide for your array for information about accessing the firmware
application. To Unassign the Managing Server
