Locking the Cache Setting

You can prevent host systems from using SCSI mode-select
commands to change the controller's write-back cache setting.
Some operating systems disable write cache. If cache lock is
enabled, the host cannot modify the cache setting. The default
setting is disabled.
This option is useful in some environments where the host system
disables the controller's write-back cache, resulting in degraded
performance.
To lock the cache setting:
1 In the System Browser window, select the controller where you
want to lock the cache.
2 Click Properties.
The Controller Properties dialog box appears.
3 Click the Cache tab.
4 Select the Lock cache to prevent change by host system check
box.
5 Click OK.

Synchronizing Dates and Times

You can synchronize the date and time on the controller with the
date and time on the host system.
To synchronize the dates and times:
1 In the System Browser window, select the controller whose date
and time you want to synchronize with the host's date and time.
2 Click Properties.
The Controller Properties dialog box appears.
