Goal


This document describes how to redistribute ownership of all volumes on an Sun Storage 6000/2500/Flexline array back to their preferred controller via the Sun Storage Common Array Manager (CAM) software.
This is often done in response to an xx.66.1010 alarm: "The following volume(s) is/are not managed by their preferred controller."


Solution


Caution: Using the "Redistribute Volumes" function may cause a change of ownership of some volume(s) to the other controller.
Modifying this array setting can impact volume access or redundancy on the attached hosts, depending on the configuration, host-type and multipathing drivers set-up, because volume failover(s) will occur.


In the CAM GUI :


    

  1. Click Sun Storage Common Array Manager.
    The navigation pane and the Storage System Summary page are displayed.
    2. 

  2. In the navigation pane, choose the array on which you want to redistribute the volumes and select "Administration"
    The "Administration" page for that array is displayed.
    3. 

  3. Click the "Redistribute Volumes" button near the top of the page
    The Redistribute Volumes confirmation dialog box is displayed.
    4. 

  4. Review the information and then click "OK" - the Redistribution will start immediately.
    5. 



 


In the CAM GUI via the Service Advisor :


    

  1. Select "Array Troubleshooting and Recovery"

    2. 

  2. Select "Redistribute Volumes" 

    3. 

  3. Follow the procedure on the right panel.
    4. 



 


In the CAM CLI :


Location for sscs :

Solaris : /opt/SUNWstkcam/bin/
Linux : /opt/sun/cam/bin/
Windows : C:\Program Files\Sun\Common Array Manager\bin


The following command will Redistribute Volumes :


sscs service -a <array-name> redistribute


Example (Solaris) :


# ./sscs service -a st6180 redistribute
Executing the redistribute command on st6180
Started redistribute command job process:2013.07.11.11.10.31.545 on st6180
Completion Status: Success
