2-5-1 Changing Between View Mode and Modify Mode

You must have write access for the option that you want to use in Modify Mode. When a storage administrator

is in Modify mode, other users can only view the subsystem information in the View mode. When a storage

partition administrator is in Modify mode, other users in the allocated SLPR can only view the subsystem

information in the View mode. One storage partition administrator can be in the Modify mode for each SLPR.
To change between View mode and Modify mode:

1.

Verify that the subsystem is unlocked. If all users are operating in View mode, the Unlocked icon (

) and

the View mode icon (

) are displayed on the upper right of the XP Remote Web Console panes (see

Figure 2-17). If a user is operating in Modify mode, or if subsystem maintenance is being performed, the

Locked icon (

) is displayed, and you are not able to implement changes.

2.

Click the Mode Changing icon, which should be in View mode (

). Click on the icon, and a confirmation

message displays (see Figure 2-18). Click OK. A progress bar showing the time remaining for Modify mode

will appear next to the Modify mode icon. For more information on the Modify mode timeout period, see

section 2-5-2

3.

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 (see Figure 2-19). The progress bar that shows

the remaining time period for Modify mode is displayed on the XP Remote Web Console main pane (see

Figure 2-20). For detailed information on the Modify mode timeout period, see section 3-4

4.

Once you have applied your desired changes, change back to View mode. Click the Mode Changing icon

(

). A confirmation message appears. Click OK to return to View mode.
