Changing an access attribute to read/write
Before changing the access attribute from read-only or protect to read/write, considering the
following:
•
Remote Web Console secondary windows must be defined for use in advance. Select Modify
from the Data Retention secondary window to set access attributes and prevent other users or
programs from changing storage system settings. When you close the secondary window,
Modify mode is released. For more information on Remote Web Console secondary windows
and Modify mode, see the HP XP7 Remote Web Console User Guide.
•
Do not assign an access attribute to a volume if any job is manipulating data on the volume.
If you assign an access attribute to such a volume, the job will possibly end abnormally.
•
Make sure that the retention term is expired. If expired, the Retention Term column in the Data
Retention window shows 0. To change the access attribute to read/write within the retention
term, contact HP Technical Support.
•
Make sure that Expiration Lock indicates Disable > Enable. If it indicates Enable > Disable,
changing to read/write is restricted by an administrator for some reason. Contact the
administrator of your system to ask if you can change the access attribute. (See
“Enabling or
disabling the expiration lock” (page 161) )
Procedure 12 To change an access attribute to read/write
1. Navigate to the 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 in which the CU belongs in the CU
Group list, and then click a CU in the tree.
5. Right-click a volume for which you want to change access attributes. You may select multiple
volumes, select Attribute, and then click Read/Write.
6. Click Apply to apply the setting.
Enabling or disabling the expiration lock
The expiration lock provides enhanced volume protection. Enabling the expiration lock ensures
that read-only volumes and protect volumes cannot be changed to read/write volumes, even after
the retention term ends. Disabling the expiration lock changes the access attribute to read/write
after the retention term ends.
This setting applies to all volumes in the storage system with the read-only and protect attribute.
Remote Web Console secondary windows must be defined for use in advance. When you select
Modify from the Data Retention secondary window to enable or disable the expiration lock, other
users or programs are prevented from changing storage system settings. When you close the
secondary window, Modify mode is released. For more information on Remote Web Console
secondary windows and Modify mode, see the HP XP7 Remote Web Console User Guide.
