PRELIMINARY RELEASE
Hitachi Lightning 9900™ V Series LUN Expansion and Virtual LVI/LUN User’s Guide 13
2.3 Changing to Modify Mode
If you are going to implement any changes for LUN Expansion or Virtual LVI/LUN, you must
be in Modify mode. The subsystem information icons (see Figure 2.2) are on the upper right
corner of the Remote Console Main panel, and they appear on all option panels as well.
These icons are described in detail in Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Lightning 9900™ V Series
Remote Console – Storage Navigator (MK-92RD101). If you want to change from View mode
to Modify mode and back, two of the icons are important:
The exclusive lock icons indicate the operation mode of all currently logged-in users. If
all users are operating in View mode, the Unlocked icon (
) is displayed. If a user is
operating in Modify mode, or if subsystem maintenance or SNMP operations are being
performed, the Locked icon (
) is displayed.
The Mode-Changing buttons allow users to change the operation mode between View
mode (
) and Modify mode ( ). Note: Only one user at a time can be in Modify mode.
To change between View mode to Modify mode:
1. You must have administrator or write access for the option that you want to use. For
details on assigning user access, see Hitachi Freedom Storage™ Lightning 9900™ V Series
Remote Console – Storage Navigator (MK-92RD101).
2. Verify that the subsystem is unlocked. If all users are operating in View mode, the
Unlocked icon (
) and the View Mode icon ( ) are displayed (see Figure 2.2). If a user
is operating in Modify mode, or if subsystem maintenance is being performed, the
Locked icon (
) is displayed, and you will not be able to change to Modify mode.
3. Select the Mode Changing icon, which should be in View mode ( ). Select on the icon,
and a confirmation message will display (see Figure 2.3). Select OK.
4. The Mode Changing icon will change from View mode to Modify mode (
), and the
Locked icon (
) will be displayed (see Figure 2.4).
5. Once you have applied your desired changes, you need to change back to View mode.
Select the Mode Changing icon (
). The confirmation message will display (see Figure
2.3). Select OK, and you will be back in View mode.
