Modifying Parameters And Deleting Settings; Continuous Access Xp Asynchronous Operations - HP StorageWorks XP12000 User Manual

NOTE:
• Before changing the operation type of a Fibre Channel port from Target or RCU Target to Initiator,
disconnect the port from the host, delete all affected Continuous Access XP pairs, delete all paths from
the port (if RCU target) to the MCU, and remove all channel paths to the port.
• Before changing the operation type of a Fibre Channel port from Initiator to Target or RCU Target,
delete all affected Continuous Access XP pairs, delete all paths to the RCU from the initiator port,
and delete the RCU from the MCU.
• Before changing the operation mode of a serial port from LCP to RCP, remove all channel paths
to the specified port.
• Before changing the port mode from RCP to LCP, delete all affected Continuous Access XP pairs,
delete all paths to the RCU from that RCP, and delete the RCU from the MCU.
Limit the number of hosts connected to an RCU target port to 128 or fewer. If more than 128 hosts
are connected to an ordinary target, some hosts might be disconnected after changing the type from
Target to RCU Target. For performance reasons, avoid using the same FC card for Continuous Access
XP and host connect.

Modifying parameters and deleting settings

After RCU, Path, and SSID operations, parameters can be modified individually. Also the RCUs, Paths,
and/or SSIDs set by each operation can be deleted.
Modifying parameters
1.
Click the RCU, Path, or SSID on the list.
2.
Right-click, and click Modify. A pane for each operation appears.
3.
Modify parameters, and click Set.
4.
Click Apply on the Continuous Access XP main pane to apply modifications.
NOTE:
After the delete operation of the RCU, Path, and SSID operation, the Modify command is not available.
Deleting RCUs, paths, or SSIDs
1.
Click the RCUs, paths, or SSIDs on the list.
2.
Right-click, and click Omit. Selected RCUs, paths, or SSIDs are deleted from the list, and deleted
RCUs, paths, or SSIDs are out of the operations.
3. Click Apply on Continuous Access XP main pane to apply the deletions.
The Cancel All command deletes all RCUs, paths, or SSIDs on the list, and all RCUs, Paths, or SSIDs
removed from operations. All RCUs, paths, or SSIDs can also be deleted using the Omit command and
selecting all the RCUs, paths, or SSIDs on the list. When all RCUs, paths, or SSIDs are deleted (by the
Cancel All or Omit command), the list status becomes the Volume list.
