Edit Command Devices wizard

The system administrator can enter CCI commands from open-system hosts to perform operations such as TrueCopy or ShadowImage operations or both on logical devices. For example, CCI commands can be used to create and to split pairs. If you want to allow the system administrator to enter CCI commands from open-system hosts, you must specify at least one logical device as the command device. If desired, you must also apply command device security to other logical devices in the storage system.

Use the Edit Command Devices window to edit command devices.

 The following volumes cannot be specified as a command device:

• Volume whose access attribute is other than read/write.

• TrueCopy pair volume.

• Global-active device pair volume.

• ShadowImage pair volume.

• Universal Replicator pair volume.

• Virtual volume (V-VOL) for Thin Image.

• Volume reserved by Data Retention Utility.

• Journal volume.

• Pool volume that includes a DP-VOL with the direct mapping attribute enabled.

• Remote command device.

• LDEV of the ALU attribute.

• Quorum disk for global-active device.

• LDEV with ALUA mode enabled.

• LDEV with the T10 PI attribute enabled.

• LDEV with NAS Platform (User LU) enabled.

• LDEV with NAS Platform (System LU) enabled.
