6.5.4.1 Batch setting of Eco-mode schedule in the Thin Provisioning Pool
This section describes operating procedures for batch setting of Eco-mode schedule in the Thin
Provisioning Pool.
Procedure
1 Click [Set Thin Provisioning Pool-Eco-mode] under the Eco-mode in the
[Settings] menu.
The [Set Thin Provisioning Pool-Eco-mode (Set)] screen appears.
Refer to "A.31.1 Set Thin Provisioning Pool-Eco-mode (Set) Screen" (page 793) for
screen details.
Occurrence of any of the following on an Eco-mode TPP (disk motors
stopped) will cause the disk motors to be started. Eco-mode will be re-
enabled when the interrupting process is resolved (finished, etc.):
- When changing RAID Groups or volume configuration (creating
RAID Group, creating, deleting, or formatting volumes, etc.)
- Host access is requested
- Advanced Copy (EC/REC) is started or resumed
If the TPP includes RAID Groups with system disks, the Eco-mode
schedule can be specified, but the Eco-mode is disabled. This
phenomenon also occurs when RAID Groups with system disks are
added to TPP using capacity expansion or applying configuration. In
these conditions, the disk motor is enabled continuously.
When Resource Domains are registered in the ETERNUS DX400/
DX8000 series, TPPs to which the Eco-mode can be set differ
depending on the current user account.
- When logged on using a Total Administrator account, the Eco-mode
can be set for all the TPPs that are assigned to Resource Domains.
- When logged on using a Resource Domain Administrator account,
the Eco-mode can be set only for TPPs that are assigned to the
relevant Resource Domain and the Shared Resource.
Eco-mode for the entire device is specified on the [Set Common Eco-
mode] menu. Eco-mode for the Thin Provisioning Pool (TPP) is enabled
when the Eco-mode for the entire device is enabled and the Eco-mode
for the TPP is "ON".
Set the Eco-mode schedule in the [Set Eco-mode Schedule] menu.
