18403   A3x00 Array not seen when shared between two hosts   27 Jan 1999

Status Issued

Description
A new A3x00 array, or one that has had the DacStore reset was connected up
between two hosts running Raid Manager 6.1.1, and the "independent controllers"
option was selected.

Raid Manager was then started up on both hosts, and the Configuration Manager
selected for each. Only one of the two systems was able to see the Array
properly and change the configuration, the other host had blank space where 
the Array details should have been selectable.

The controllers were confirmed to be running in Active / Active mode, with the 
latest firmware installed.
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
From one of the hosts, start the Configuration Manager, and select the Raid 
Module you are working with. Edit the Modlue Name, and apply this change. You
should see the name change in Raid Manager on both the connected hosts.

Next, reboot each host to allow the change to take effect.

This update to the Module should now have propagated through, and both hosts 
should be able to access their repective controller modules correctly from
Raid Manager.
