HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console Software - Manual (Page 42)

storage system is partitioned, only one user can be in Modify mode for each SLPR. Any other users
in the allocated SLPR can only view the storage system information in View mode. Some dialog
boxes are not displayed in View mode. To view such information in View mode, view the Reports
Display dialog box.
To change between View mode and Modify mode:
1. Verify that the icon is displayed, which indicates that the storage system is unlocked.
2. Click the Mode Changing icon, which should be in View mode ( ).
Once you are in Modify mode, the Mode Changing icon changes from a gray background
to a yellow background ( ), and the Locked icon ( ) is displayed. Also a progress bar
appears on the Remote Web console main window showing the remaining time period for
Modify mode (see
“Extending the Modify Mode Timeout Period” (page 42) ).
3. Once you have applied your desired changes, click the Mode Changing icon ( ) to change
back to View mode.
Extending the Modify Mode Timeout Period
When you change from View mode to Modify mode, a progress bar showing the Modify mode
timeout period appears on the Remote Web Console main window.
Figure 24 Progress Bar Showing the Modify Mode Timeout
The progress bar shows the remaining time period in which Modify mode is available. The remaining
time period for Modify mode is also numerically displayed on the progress bar. The default for
the Modify mode timeout period is 30 minutes. You can click the Reset button on the right of the
progress bar to extend the Modify mode time period. For example, if the Modify mode timeout
period is set as 30 minutes (default), the Modify mode time period is extended for 30 minutes, as
you click the Reset button.
If you do not access the SVP while in Modify mode, the progress bar decreases. When you reach
the specified Modify mode timeout period, Modify mode is released.
NOTE: If Modify mode is released due to a time out, the settings made but not yet applied will
be canceled on some windows. Therefore, make sure that you have enough time remaining in
Modify mode to complete your work by clicking Reset while you are using the following windows:
•
V-VOL window
•
All windows and dialog boxes used for HP XP Continuous Access Software, HP XP Continuous
Access Journal Software, and XP Business Copy operations
•
All windows and dialog boxes used for Hitachi TrueCopy™ for Mainframe, Universal Replicator
for Mainframe, and ShadowImage for Mainframe operations
•
Volume Security window
•
All windows and dialog boxes used for XP External Storage operations
•
License Key window
You can change the Modify mode timeout period using the RMI time-out period for Modify parameter
on the Set Env. dialog box. You have to log in as a storage administrator with the Storage
Administrator Role set to Enable to change the setting of RMI time-out period for Modify. See
“Setting the Environment Parameters” (page 105) for instructions. If you disable this parameter by
specifying NO, the progress bar that shows the Modify mode timeout period is not displayed on
the Remote Web Console main window, even though the mode is changed to Modify.
