By default, all virtual disks are assigned an OUID of 0, which is regarded as having no OUID
assignment.

•

To effectively assign an OUID, you must change the OUID value from 0 to any other value between
1 and 32767.

•

After assigning an OUID value, you can change the OUID value at any time.

•

To effectively remove an OUID assignment, change the virtual disk’s OUID value to 0.

You can only change the OUID for one virtual disk at a time.

NOTE:

Keep track of OUID assignments. SVSP does not perform verification for redundancy when OUIDs
are changed.

To change an OUID for a virtual disk:

1.

In the navigation tree, expand the Entities node.

2.

Click the Virtual Disk node. The virtual disks list appears in the list area.

3.

Right-click the virtual disk for which you want to change the OUID.

4.

Select Manage > Set OpenVMS UID. The Set OpenVMS UID screen appears.

5.

Change the assigned OUID value.

6.

Click Next. A confirmation screen appears.

7.

Click Finish. The virtual disk’s OUID is changed.
