Changing a vdisk's owner
Each vdisk is owned by one of the controllers, known as the preferred owner. Typically, you should not
need to change vdisk ownership.
When a controller fails, the partner controller assumes temporary ownership of the failed controller's vdisks
and resources, becoming the current owner. If the system uses a fault-tolerant cabling configuration, both
controllers' LUNs will be accessible through the partner.
CAUTION: Before changing the owning controller for a vdisk, you must stop host I/O to the vdisk’s
volumes. Volume mappings are not affected.
To change a vdisk's owner
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click a vdisk and select Configuration > Modify Vdisk Owner.
The main panel shows the vdisk's owner.

3. Click Modify Owner. A confirmation dialog appears.
