Assuming a non responsable controller it means that you pull it out, wait 1min and than insert it again. It depence on the Hosts and how Multipathing is configured if a downtime is needed. You havent sayed if the FaultDomain is a SAS, iSCSI or FC one. But i expect that this is system setup with redunancy in mind.
But again... you should setup the serial connection so check whats going on.
Yes you should rebalance the ports if the controller is back.

Hook up a serial cable and check the state of the controller.

Hi Sir,
However can I restart the top controller without system downtime? Can I replace the controller hotswap and just rebalance it?
Thank you.
