If the master console server
disk drive fails and the master console software
is also lost, the hardware master console software
can be restored to the factory default settings.
The master console server
uses a mirrored pair of disk drives to protect the master console software
in case a disk drive fails. However, if both copies of the software
are also destroyed, you can restore the software to the factory default
settings by using the CDs that are supplied with the hardware master console.
Complete the following steps to restore the master console software
to the factory default settings:
Hardware master console V4.1
and later
- Inspect your recovery CDs. Beginning with version
4.1, IBM® provides
a separate Microsoft® Windows® CD
in addition to the software Master console CDs.
- Reinstall the Windows operating
system using the supplied Windows CDs.
- Install the master console software
from the supplied CDs.
- Configure the master console software using the instructions in the IBM System
Storage SAN Volume Controller Master Console Guide.
