Hello FuriousRabbit,

Here is the link to the guide for upgrading your MD3200i from simplex mode to Duplex mode. http://downloads.dell.com/manuals/common/powervault-md3200_user%27s%20guide3_en-us.pdf

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

So I went through the steps outlined in the document, along with updating the firmware of the controllers, drives and updating to the latest version of MDSM. The controllers started working for about 3 minutes and then the array was unavailable. I have already backed up all of the data on the array and migrated, so at this point I'm looking to restore to factory settings.

The only way that I'm able to access the management port from MDSM is if all of the disks are removed. If I try to boot the array with 1 controller and 2 disks are installed in slot 0 and slot 1 I get the following from the console output:

At this point the controller goes into this loop five times and then locks. I have tried clearing the locked status with lemClearLockdown, but if there are drives installed the controller goes back into the endless loop (showing the same output as above) and locks itself again. Again, I'm not worried about the data on this array as it has all been migrated I just want to get this working properly. 

I've been doing some research and I'm wondering if the drives need to be wiped? Would they still have the original configuration and the modules can't load the configuration for some reason?
