Oh yeah. I remember having a DS4300 that had a failed drive and when we
tried to rebuild it corrupted the whole string. Call to IBM ensued where
they had us disable one controller, then the other controller was able
to rebuild the array, then we brought the first controller back in sync.
Tricky....
