Compaq Infortrend manual Redundant Configuration Using Manual Setting, Enable Redundant Controller

Power-off controller 1, and then power on controller 2. Set controller 2 to "Autocfg" as described previously. Power off controller 2.

When the redundant controller function is set to the "Autocfg" setting, the controllers will decide between themselves which will be the Primary controller. If you need to specify a particular controller as Primary or Secondary, do not set it as "autocfg;" choose "Primary" or "Secondary" instead. Please refer to the following section for more detail.
