Stopping managers

Under normal circumstances, you stop a manager when you are removing a storage system from
a management group. Stopping a manager that will compromise fault tolerance generates an
alarm. You cannot stop the last manager in a management group. The only way to stop the last
manager is to delete the management group, which permanently deletes all data stored on volumes
in the management group.

Implications of stopping managers

Quorum of the storage systems may be decreased. See
Fewer copies of configuration data are maintained.
Fault tolerance of the configuration data may be lost.
Data integrity and availability may be compromised.
1. In the navigation window, select a management group, and log in.
2. Select the storage system for which you want to stop the manager.
3. Click Storage System Tasks on the Details tab, and select Stop Manager.
A confirmation message opens.
4. Click OK to confirm stopping the manager.

the edited management group. See
(page 114).

Setting or changing the local bandwidth priority

After a management group has been created, edit the management group to change the local
bandwidth priority. This is the maximum rate per second that a manager devotes to non-application
processing, such as moving data. The default rate is 16 MB per second. You cannot set the range
below 0.25 MB/sec.
1. In the navigation window, select the management group and log in.
2. Click Management Group Tasks on the Details tab, and select Edit Management Group.
3. Change the local bandwidth priority using the slider.
The default setting of 16, at the Application Access end of the slider, is more appropriate for
everyday situations where many servers are busy with the volume. A setting of 40, at the Data
Rebuild end of the slider, is most commonly used for quick data migration.
4. Click OK.
The new rate appears on the Details tab in the management group tab window.
