To provide a back story to the issue:
A client we monitor has 2x Dell Equallogic SAN controllers
Controller 1 is the primary controller
Controller 2 is the fallback controller only in use when Controller 1 fails
Both devices are setup with the same sensors in PRTG.
Controller 2 sensors alarm because the devices are not accessible
My question: Is it possible to set a dependency to pause controller 2 when controller 1 is UP and vise versa.
Thanks
Dan

What you can do is use the API call to pause one or the other when the other is up and then resume the other when it's down using HTTP execute notifications and the PRTG API.
You can see more about the API by going to the Setup tab and clicking API but the basic commands are:
/api/pause.htm?id=objectid&pausemsg=yourmessage&action=0 - This is to pause the sensor indefinitely
/api/pause.htm?id=objectid&action=1 - This is to resume a sensor
