Forcing the Offline Nytro Flash Module into Online State
Restoring an Offline Nytro Flash module (associated to a source VD) to an Online state is not a recommended operation. This results in data mismatch between the Nytro Flash module and source VD, which leads to data corruption.
The operation to restore an Offline Nytro Flash module to Online state is possible by using the MegaRAID Storage Manager software, and/or StorCLI utility, which is not recommended.
NOTE From MegaRAID Storage Manager window
Nytro Flash module firmware version 1.7 and later do not support the Right-click > Nytro Flash Module > Make Drive Offline option from the MegaRAID Storage Manager window. If you find the Nytro Flash module in an offline state, make it online by using the Right-click > Nytro Flash Module > Make Drive Offline option from the MegaRAID Storage Manager window.
NOTE By using the StorCLI utility
Nytro Flash module firmware version 1.7 and later do not support the Nytro Flash module Make Drive Offline option. The operations performed on the Nytro Flash module Make Drive Offline option fail. If you find the Nytro Flash module offline, make it online by using the storcli /cx/ex/sx set online command.
