HP StorageWorks EVA Cluster Extension Software Installation Guide (T3667-96044, April 2010)

Resetting the DR group GUI display
After the upgrade is complete, the EVA Cluster Extension resource configuration GUI displays a blank
value for the DR group Write mode property for existing EVA Cluster Extension resources. EVA Cluster
Extension will work as expected even though the Write mode is not displayed in the GUI.
If you want to view the correct Write mode value in the GUI, perform the following procedure:
1. Open the EVA Cluster Extension resource configuration tool or the Parameters tab in Cluster
Administrator or Failover Cluster Management.
2. Click Advanced Settings and record the configured values for Application Startup behavior,
Failsafe mode override, and Use non-current data ok.
3. Click Browse and then click OK to reselect the DR group.
4. Click Advanced Settings and enter the values recorded in Step 2.
NOTE:
For instructions on using the resource configuration GUI, see the HP StorageWorks EVA Cluster
Extension Administrator Guide .
