Hi Guys,
       Following the c_swap procedure written on servicing your
       Storagework subsystem pag.77,we discover a bug during the
       set this preferred_id on the good controller,the command 
       respond : oparation not available at this time,and the prefer
       doesn't take effect.
       The big problem is that if you proceed with operation the next
       step is to restart other controller and after the command the faulty
       controller restart and set unavailable the units!!!!!
       Controller hsz40-c hsof v3.0-2.
       Could sameone tell me if there is a bug into the procedure or
       how i can force the preffered on the good controller before the
       faulty restart ?
       Any comment and suggestion will be very appreciated
Best regards
/Walter

|     You are correct, if a controller is in dual configuration and the
    other controller is not running,you can't set preferred ids.
    
    If the controller that is going to be replaced is not running, then
    The work around is to set nofailover on the running controller, then
    you can set preferred id's on the running controller; then you restart 
    the other controller and get the error information.
    
    once you get the error information, shutdown the controller that is
    going to be replaced then enter the c_swap procedures as listed in the
    service guides, I am going to try to get a blitz out that will
    list the changes.
