Instructions

This alert is informational.  Many times this alert occurs initially during deployment or during Storage Center upgrades.  When Storage Center is upgraded, each controller reboots and the peer controller takes over the services.  If this alert is during deployment or an upgrade, it can be acknowledged and ignored.
If this alert occurred unexpectedly, you may look for other alerts that could provide an indication why the controller’s services failed over.  It is recommended to send the System State Information (SSI) via Dell SupportAssist and contact technical support.
