NOTE: If the Controllers are in fault-tolerant mode, then the following information regarding the fault-tolerant statusand mode is also displayed:• Fault Tolerant Mode – Shared, Active/Passive• Fault Tolerant Status – Healthy/Normal, or Lost/Degraded• Peer Controller - Indicates the name of controller that acts as the peer (stand-by) in case of a fault-tolerant modesupported by two controllersNOTE: If the peer controller is disabled, the name is displayed as Disabled PERC (Integrated 2) or DisabledPERC(SPERC Slot 6) and the Status is displayed as Unknown, which implies that the peer controller is turned off.For more information about Controllers, see the Online Help.Viewing Controller Properties Using RACADMTo view controller properties using RACADM, run the command racadm raid get controllers -oFor more information, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.Importing or Clearing Foreign ConfigurationA foreign disk must be inserted into the chassis.To import or clear the foreign configuration:1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Storage → Controllers → Setup.2. On the Controller Setup page, in the Foreign Configuration section, for the respective controller, click:• Clear Foreign Configuration to clear the existing configuration of the disk.• Import/Recover to import the disk with the foreign configuration.Configuring Storage Controller SettingsYou can modify existing properties of a storage controller or configure the properties of a newly-installed storage controller.Configuring Storage Controller Settings Using CMC Web InterfaceMake sure at least one storage controller is installed in the chassis.Toconfigure the storage controller settings:1. In the CMC Web interface, go to Chassis Overview → Storage → Controllers → Setup.2. On the Controller Setup page, from the Controller drop-down menu, select the controller.NOTE: Note the following:• If the storage controllers are in fault-tolerant mode, and if both have the same firmware version, then both thecontrollers are displayed as a single device in the drop-down menu. For example, Shared PERC8 (Integrated 1) orShared PERC8 (Integrated 2) or Shared PERC8 (SPERC Slot 5) or Shared PERC8 (SPERC Slot 6). If the settings oftwo controllers are different, the Settings Incompatible message is displayed. You can set the properties of fault-tolerant controllers so that the properties are same on both the controllers. Controllers in this mode cannot haveseparate properties.• If a second storage controller with a different firmware version is installed, then the controllers are displayed as twodifferent components in the drop-down menu. For example, Shared PERC8 (Integrated 1), Shared PERC8 (Integrated2), Shared PERC8 (SPERC Slot 5) and Shared PERC8 (SPERC Slot 6).The attribute values for the selected controller are updated in the table.3. Type or select appropriate data, and then click Apply.NOTE: For information about the attributes and other field descriptions, seeOnline Help.171
