Configure an OpenVMS Unique Disk ID for a Volume
Configure an OpenVMS Unique Disk ID to identify the volume to servers running the OpenVMS operating system. You may need to
reset this value when recovering a volume from a snapshot. For example, if you map a volume to a server, create a snapshot, and
then mount a new view volume to the server, the new view volume has a new disk ID. To allow the server to recognize it as the
same volume, you must modify the disk ID to match the original value.
1. Expand the Dell Storage Manager menu, and then click Storage.
2. In the SC Series tab, select a Storage Center.
3. Click the Storage tab.
4. In the Storage tab navigation pane, select the volume you want to modify.

6. Click Edit Advanced Volume Settings. The Edit Advanced Volume Settings dialog box appears.
