Part replacement of a PERC card in eHBA mode

When replacing a PERC card, verify the controller mode of operation after replacing the card. If a controller mode change is still necessary, you may request the desired mode and reboot. Before changing the mode, ensure that all the physical drives are removed from the system. If the drives cannot be physically removed, then a force mode transition must be performed. Following reboot, foreign virtual disks should be imported.

CAUTION:The force option is for card replacement only. Use of the force option for reasons other than card replacement is not recommended.

Perform the following steps to replace the card that is operating in eHBA mode with another in RAID mode:

  1. Power on the system.
  2. Enter the HII configuration utility. See Entering the HII configuration utility.
  3. Change controller to eHBA mode. See Manage controller mode.
  4. Reboot the system.
  5. Import any foreign virtual disks.
