Hi,
This is my first post, so bear with me!
I have inherited an F400 for my demo environment and I'm playing around with it. I had it up and running and started down a "I wonder what happens if..." route and decided to remove two of the shelves. The array had four shelves, all half-populated, so I removed two shelves and moved the disks to the remaining shelves. I changed the ID indicators on the shelves both to "1" and removed the loop - directly connecting each shelf to the first two ports on the FC card in slot 2.
Magically, the array picked up the moved disks and works fine (which I didn't expect) but is now complaining about the lost loops which it sees as broken.
Is there any way to repair this? From my training I seem to remember that direct-connecting shelves is supported on F-Class arrays with the downfall of the loss of host-ports, but with just two shelves this isn't really an issue for me.
Thanks in advance
