## preferred owner

In a dual controller enclosure, the controller to which an array is originally assigned. If the preferred owner fails (due to a hardware problem, for example), the array automatically moves to the other controller (fail over). The ServeRAID Manager allows you to restore the array to its preferred owner with fail back. Intentionally moving an array to different controller in the enclosure changes its preferred owner.
