Thanks to Aaron Lineberger, Victoria DeVore, and particularly Annie
Austin for their input, but I ended up going to Sun who are coming in to
replace the second controller.

The Sun engineer thought that doing `fail secondary' should
theoretically cause the LUNs to fail over to the primary controller but,
because of the "unusual" state of the array, wasn't confident enough
that it wouldn't affect the primary that he could advise me to do it.
Again, he thinks that the act of replacing the controller will restore
the array to health, but is advising us to organize some down time to be
safe. Ah well.

Cheers,

Rob
