Clearing The Connectors Redundant Path View
If you do not want the redundant path view, physically disconnect the connector port from the enclosure and reboot the system. After the
system reboots, the user interface still displays the logical connector, but in a critical state. To clear the redundant path mode, select
Clear Redundant Path view from the Controller Tasks.
Selecting this option clears the redundant path view and the connectors are represented on the user interface as Connector 0 and
Connector 1.
