Deleting a Controller
1 To delete a controller select the controller and click Controllers → Delete
Controller
.
You will receive a warning that all the attached arrays and disks will be
deleted.
2 Click Yes to delete or No to cancel.
NOTE: There must be at least one controller present on the system. If there is only
one controller and you delete it, a message displays that the default controller was
inserted because the last controller was deleted.
Variable Conditions
To provide the ability to use the same hardware configuration in multiple
logical configurations, variable evaluation is provided so that a different
configuration for arrays and logical drives can be applied to different
situations.
Variable condition elements contain arrays and global hot spares, and are of
two types:
• No variables defined : This is the default configuration inserted with every
controller, and cannot be removed or moved from last in the order.
•
Variables defined : This is where any variable is compared to a value using
one of the pre-defined operators.
Adding a New Variable Condition
1 To add a new variable condition under an embedded controller, expand
Embedded Controller , and select [No variable conditions defined] .
2 Click Variables → New Variable Condition .
The
Variable Condition Configuration window displays.
3 Under Variable Matching Criteria , you can set a rule to apply this variable
only if it matches certain criteria that you select.
4 Click OK to apply the variable condition, or Cancel to return to Array
Builder
.
