Part replacement of a PERC card in RAID mode with another 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 you must perform a force mode transition. Import foreign virtual disks following reboot.

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 RAID mode with another in eHBA mode:

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