Array is Offline because Adapter Is Not Known to the Remaining Half of the
Array When this condition exists, the host system generates SRN 48755.
Tomaintain data consistency, SSA RAID-1 and RAID-10 arrays keep a record of the
adapters to which they are connected. If exactly one half of the array is connected to a
different adapter,the array remains in the Offline state unless you take specific action to
make the array available.
This type of problem can be caused by:
vIncorrect reconfiguration of an array
vSimultaneous failure of an SSAadapter and a disk drive
Failure of an Adapter and a Disk Drive
In Figure37, an SSA adapter and a disk drive have failed. When a new adapter is
installed, the array remains in the Offline state until the state of the SplitArray
Resolution flag is changed back to Primary.
