What You Can

Change

Description

Enable Command

Console LUN alias

The Command Console LUN (CCL) appears as a virtual

device to your host. If your host allows device aliases, you

can assign an alias to the CCL.
To use this feature, enable your CCL. Click the Enable box

and enter a name in the text box. Ensure the format of the

name follows the guidelines for your operating system.

Allocation class

Use extreme caution when changing the setting of this field.

Caution:

Changing the setting of the allocation

class of your controller may cause data corruption

and your host system may require restarting.

Enable autospare

If a replacement policy is in place and autospare is enabled,

a failed drive will look for a spare drive. Check your legend

for icons that show the status of this process. To determine

whether a replacement policy is set, click the Settings tab in

the Virtual Disk Properties window.
Note that this option is not available on devices using RAID

0 or JBOD storage.

Time and date

The controller uses the internal clock to time stamp event

logs and status messages.
Both the time and date fields must have values to change

either parameter. You cannot leave the date field blank.

Enable remote

copy mode

Enable remote copy mode activates remote copy for a

controller pair (subsystem). This feature requires you to first

enable remote copy mode for the controller.
To disable this feature, first remove all remote copy sets and

remote copy set connections from the Connections tab of the

Controller Properties window.

Remote copy mode

The Remote copy mode field displays the name assigned to

the controller pair when remote copy was enabled. To

change the value for this field, you must first delete all

existing remote copy connections from the Connections tab

of the Controller Properties window.
