6.2.4 Changing Array Ownership
You can change the ownership of any array between the SMs. When you
create an array, SAM automatically selects the owner and balances the
number of arrays each SM owns. You can select the array owner when
you create an array by clicking Advanced Options from the third Create
Array page.
In most situations, which SM owns the array does not matter. A single
SM owns arrays and dedicated spares. When a SM fails, the other SM
assumes temporary ownership of its resources.

:
When you change the ownership of an array, the LUNs assigned
to the array’s partitions become invalid. After changing ownership, you
must assign a new LUN to each array partition.
To change array ownership:
1. From SAM, select Manage EF2800 > Disk Array Config > Change
Array Owner. The Change Array Owner page displays with a list of
existing arrays.
2. Select the array you want.
The Change Array Owner drop-down list shows the current
owner.
3. Select the other SM from the drop-down list.
4. Click Change Array Owner to Storage Manager X (
where X is the
other SM
).
5. Assign a new LUN to each array partition.
See section 6.3.3, "Changing a Partition LUN" on page 97.
