— Manual load balancing—Through the ACU or the CLI, indicate the
preferred path (controller ownership) for each LUN. This method is
recommended for environments that are load balancing from the host.
In dual-controller multipath configurations (both active/active and
active/passive), you must install some management software (such as
multipathing software, management/monitoring utilities, and array
configuration software) on each server with access to the MSA.
In operational environments, schedule physical configuration changes during
periods of low or no activity. For example, if the system is performing
rebuilds, RAID migrations, array expansions, logical disk extensions, or
experiencing heavy I/O, avoid physical changes such as adding or replacing
disk drives, or hot-plugging a controller or any other component. Hot adding
or replacing a controller while under heavy I/O may cause a momentary
pause, performance decrease, or loss of access to the MSA while the new
controller is starting up. When the controller completes the startup process,
full functionality is restored.
When servicing the controller in a single-controller MSA, do the following:
a. Ensure that a known, good backup is available.
b. Schedule a maintenance window.
c. From the servers, stop all access to the MSA.
d. Power off the MSA and disconnect the power cords.
e. Remove the controller for servicing or replacement.
After completing the service and re-applying power to the MSA, if necessary,

When servicing one (or both) controllers in a dual-controller MSA, do the
following:
If one of the two controllers is marked as failed, remove the failed controller
for servicing or replacement at any time.
