Power off, unplug, replace controller, plug in, power on. Boot to the CTRL-R utility. If it recognizes the array as online and optimal, then you are done. If it does not and lists a "foreign configuration", then you need to IMPORT the foreign configuration before proceeding.

Hi Prasad,
You can replace the PERC Controller immediately to resolve a controller hardware fault straight away if you already have a spare.
