The storage subsystem has failed to adopt the configuration database of one or more recently inserted drives because there are multiple configuration databases present among the drives inserted. In other words, the drives that were inserted into this storage subsystem previously resided in multiple alternate storage subsystems. This (the destination) storage subsystem does not select a configuration database to adopt when there are multiple configuration databases present.
Due to the nature of the failure the Recovery Guru Details area does not provide specific information about the problem or the drives causing the problem.
Caution: Electronic
discharge can damage sensitive components. Always use proper
antistatic protection when handling components. Touching components
without using a proper ground may damage the equipment.

2 | Remove all of the drives that were recently inserted into this storage subsystem. | ||||||||||||||||
3 | Select ONE of the original storage
subsystems that will be used to help you determine which drives belong
together. Note: Even though the drives came from multiple alternate storage subsystems previously, you will insert ALL of the drives into only ONE of the original storage subsystems. The storage subsystem will recognize the drives that were previously attached to it as 'native' drives, and the rest will be considered 'foreign' drives, but you will still be able to get enough information about the drives to see which drives contain the same configuration database. |

for the alternate storage subsystem, refer to the Drives tab of the
Storage Subsystem Profile.

6 | Power down the controllers to this (the destination) storage subsystem, and ensure that there are no additional foreign drives attached to them. | ||||||||||||||||
7 | Re-insert the set of drives into this (the
destination) storage subsystem, and then power-on the controllers. Note: The controllers will adopt the configuration database contained on the drives. |
||||||||||||||||
8 | Insert the remaining drives into this
(the destination) storage subsystem. Note: The drives will be considered 'foreign' to the storage subsystem and the arrays must be imported into the storage subsystem. Refer to the online help if you require assistance with importing arrays into a storage subsystem. |
