HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console Software - Manual (Page 49)

• Modify mode lets you lock the setting operation of other users so that they cannot change the settings
of the storage system.
You must operate in the Modify mode to change the settings of the storage system. You also need
the operation privileges of the function to change the settings of the storage system. For detailed
information on setting operation privileges, see “
Changing User Operation Privileges ” on page 120.
Only one user can be in Modify mode for each storage system. While a storage administrator is in
Modify mode, any other users can only view the storage system information in View mode. If the
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.
On most of the windows, you must operate in Modify mode to change the settings of the storage
system. Except for some windows, you can change the settings of the storage system in View mode.
Some dialog boxes are not displayed in View mode. To view this information while in View mode,
see the Basic Information 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 that shows
the remaining time period for Modify mode is displayed on the Remote Web Console main
window (see “
Extending the Modify Mode Timeout Period ” on page 49).
3. Once you have applied your desired changes, change back to View mode. Click the Mode
Changing icon ( ).
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 23 Progress Bar Showing the Modify Mode Timeout
The progress bar shows the remaining time period in which the Modify mode is available. The
remaining time period for the Modify mode is also numerically displayed on the progress bar. The
default 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.
