What You Can
Change
Description
Enable Command
Console LUN alias
The Command Console LUN (CCL) appears as a virtual
device to your host. If your host allows device aliases, you
can assign an alias to the CCL.
To use this feature, enable your CCL. Click the Enable box
and enter a name in the text box. Ensure the format of the
name follows the guidelines for your operating system.
Allocation class Use extreme caution when changing the setting of this field.
Caution: Changing the setting of the allocation
class of your controller may cause data corruption
and your host system may require restarting.
Enable autospare If a replacement policy is in place and autospare is enabled,
a failed drive will look for a spare drive. Check your legend
for icons that show the status of this process. To determine
whether a replacement policy is set, click the Settings tab in
the Virtual Disk Properties window.
Note that this option is not available on devices using RAID
0 or JBOD storage.
Time and date The controller uses the internal clock to time stamp event
logs and status messages.
Both the time and date fields must have values to change
either parameter. You cannot leave the date field blank.
Enable remote
copy mode
Enable remote copy mode activates remote copy for a
controller pair (subsystem). This feature requires you to first
enable remote copy mode for the controller.
To disable this feature, first remove all remote copy sets and
remote copy set connections from the Connections tab of the
Controller Properties window.
Remote copy mode The Remote copy mode field displays the name assigned to
the controller pair when remote copy was enabled. To
change the value for this field, you must first delete all
existing remote copy connections from the Connections tab
of the Controller Properties window.
