are already prohibited.
5. Click Disable -> Enable. A confirmation message appears.
6. Click OK. The button changes to Enable -> Disable, and then expiration lock is enabled. When
expiration lock is enabled, access attributes of volumes cannot be changed to read/write
even after the retention term ends.
To disable the expiration lock, click Enable -> Disable. The access attribute can be changed to
read/write after the retention term ends.
Disabling an S-VOL
Assigning a read-only or protect attribute is one of the ways to prevent data in a volume from
being overwritten by replication software. Volumes having the read-only or protect attribute are
not only protected against these copy operations, but are also protected against any other form
of write operations.
To protect a volume only from copy operations, you must ensure that the volume has the read/write
attribute and then assign the S-VOL Disable attribute to the volume. This setting prohibits the volume
from being used as a secondary volume for copy operations.
Procedure 16 To disable an S-VOL
1. Log on to Remote Web Console as a user assigned to the Storage Administrator (Provisioning)
role.
2. In the Remote Web Console main window, click Actions > Other Function > Data Retention
to open the Data Retention window.
3. Click to change to Modify mode.
4. Select an LDKC number in the LDKC list, select a group that the CU belongs in the CU Group
list, and then click a CU in the tree.
5. Right-click a volume for which the S-VOL column shows Enable. You may select multiple
volumes.
6. Select S-VOL > Disable.
7. Click Apply to apply the setting.
To use a volume as an S-VOL, ensure that the volume has the read/write attribute and then assign
the S-VOL Enable attribute to the volume.
Reserving volumes
By default, all Remote Web Console users with proper permissions can make LU path settings and
command device settings. If you perform the following procedure in Remote Web Console, all
users, including yourself, will not be allowed to make LU path settings and command device settings
on the specified volume. RAID Manager users can still make LU path settings and command device
settings on the volume.
