11.2.9.3
Change Box ID
This function changes the Box ID that identifies an ETERNUS DX Disk storage system in the
user system.
Box ID is used as information to identify the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system from applica-
tions connected to the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system. The initial Box ID is a device ID that
is created by combining device information (series name, model, serial number, etc.).
If upgrading or replacing the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system, the existing Box ID will change
with the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system change. Therefore, there is a risk that the backup
data saved in the previous ETERNUS DX Disk storage system cannot be used, so it is
necessary to reconfigure the user system after the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system is
upgraded or replaced. This function changes the device BOX ID to the same ID as that of the
previous ETERNUS DX Disk storage system in order to avoid any problems and also use the
same backup data in the new device.
The procedure to set the Box ID is as follows:
Procedure
1
Click the [Done] button to return to the [System Settings] screen.
•
A Box ID is a unique name in the user system. Make the Box ID different
from that of other ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems in the user
system. If the Box ID is not changed, the Device ID is used as a Box ID.
•
Do not change the Box ID during Remote Advanced Copy (REC)
operation. If the Box ID is changed during REC, REC operation stops
with an error.
•
If the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system Box ID is changed after
setting the Advanced Copy Path, Remote Advanced Copy (REC) will no
longer run. Create Advanced Copy Paths again with the new Box ID,
and then specify the new Advanced Copy Path information to all the
related ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems.
Click [Change Box ID] in [Action].
