Warnings for Slow Systems Operations
By default, the management server warns you when it encounters issues with handling large
amounts of data from storage systems, such as long load times.
If you do not want to be warned, clear the Warn about slow storage system operations option
on the User Preferences tab. See ”Modifying Your User Preferences” on page 147 for
information on how to access the User Preferences tab.
