Labeling a Controller Unit

3.2.12.4

Singlet

The DUAL SINGLET command sets the system in the singlet mode. System recognizes only Unit 1. This
command:

• disables cache coherency

• heals unit 1 if it is failed

• fails unit 2 before attempting to remove it.

To set the system in singlet mode not couplet mode, type: dual singlet

<Enter>.

NOTE : The system may automatically add unit 2 if it is connected to the system. Therefore, we

advise you to power off and remove unit 2 from the system after the Dual Singlet
command is completed.

3.3 Performance Management

The controller optimizes performance operations due to its extensive monitoring and reporting
capability.

3.3.1
