Enabling a Controller

This procedure enables I/O to a controller. If the Dynamic Multipathing feature is enabled, this procedure also restores access to the paths associated with a controller.

To enable a controller

Select the controller to be enabled.
Choose Controller Enable (Command Launcher).

Complete the Enable Controller dialog box as follows:

Controller Name(s):	If the correct controller name is not already displayed in this field, type the controller's name or click Browse to select the controller.
Options	Click Show Options to access the optional settings for this task. To enable all enclosures (disk arrays) associated with this controller, select All Enclosures. To enable specific enclosures associated with this controller, type the enclosure names in the Selected Enclosures field or click Browse to select the enclosures.

When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click OK.

Notes:
This task requires a controller name. This task makes the paths associated with the specified controller available to I/O and the Volume Manager Dynamic Multipathing feature.
