Caution
If the Copybackless function is enabled, the drive that is replaced with the failed drive cannot be installed
in the prior RAID group configuration. This should be taken into consideration when enabling or disabling
the Copybackless function.
Note
To set the Copybackless function, use the subsystem parameter settings. These settings can be performed
with the Storage Management policy or the Maintenance Operation policy. After the settings are changed,
the ETERNUS AF does not need to be turned off and on again.
