The row after the function tag indicates the required setting items (Cha and PcbMode in the
example) for the function. The setting items are separated by commas.

Example:

[Cha]

#Cha, PcbMode

The existing settings for the function are written. The existing settings row, which starts with
#$, is recognized as a comment row.

CAUTION:

The settings in the rows that start with #$ are not allowed to change.

Example:

[LUN]

#Port, Group Id, LunId, Ldkc, Cu, Ldev

(items to be changed)

#$1C,0,1,1,1,1

(existing settings row)

An example of the declaration and the function tag is as follows.

#!Version 05_00_00,LUN,Change

[Cha]

[Port]

[HostGroup]

[WWN]

[LUN]

[LDEV]

As a general rule , the settings are applied to the storage system one at a time, in the order they
appear in the spreadsheet. This means that the settings of the prior function tags can affect the
following function tags. For example, if you were to delete a host group in the [HostGroup] tag,
the path settings related to the deleted host group would also be automatically deleted. If you then
write the new settings for the automatically deleted path in the

[LUN]

tag or the

[WWN]

tag, an

error would occur.

Configuration Definitions

There are three types of configuration definitions: adding new settings, deleting current settings,
and changing current settings.

Adding new settings. You can add new settings if the current settings area of the spreadsheet
is blank (see

“Sample Configuration Definitions” (page 94)

).

Deleting current settings. You can delete existing current settings by making the new settings
area blank.

Changing current settings. You can change existing current settings by writing a different
setting in the new settings area. The format of the existing setting and the new settings must
be the same

The configuration definition consists of the index and the parameter (see

“Sample Index and

Parameter Definitions” (page 94)

). The index is fixed for each function tag, so it must be the same

for both the current settings and the new settings. By modifying the settings in the parameter, you
can add, delete, or change the settings.

You can write the configuration definition either between a function tag and another function tag,
or between a function tag and the end of the file. Using a configuration definition, you can set the
