Select Yes and press Enter.

You can change the ownership of any array between the SMs. 

You might want to change ownership if you plan to replace or repair one SM. Changing ownership lets 
you continue using an array without interruption and makes the array visible on the SM you change it to. 
You can no longer see the array on the original SM.

When you change the ownership of an array, the LUNs assigned to the array’s partitions become invalid. 
After changing ownership, you must assign a new LUN to each array partition.

From the System Menu, select Array Menu and press Enter.
The Select Array screen displays with a list of existing arrays.

Select the array you want and press Enter.
The array menu displays.

Select Switch Array Owner and press Enter 
The system confirms that you want to make the change.

Select Yes and press Enter.
Assign a new LUN to each array partition.

See 

C.3.5, ”Changing a Partition LUN”, on page 141

.

You can use the Trust Array function to bring an array back online by re synchronizing the time and date 
stamp and any other metadata on a bad disk. This makes the disk an active member of the array again. 
You might need to do this when:

• One or more disks of an array start up more slowly or were powered on after the rest of the disks in 

the array. This causes the date and time stamps to differ, which the Galaxy 65 Subsystem interprets 
as a problem with the “late” disks. In this case, the array will function normally after using Trust Array.

• An array is offline because a drive is failing, you have no data backup, and you want to try to recover 

the data from the array. In this case, the Trust Array function may work, but only as long as the failing 
drive continues to operate.

Before you can use this function, you must enable it in the Option Configuration menu.

From the System Menu, select Configuration Menu and press Enter.
The Configuration Menu displays.
