Reserving volumes

By default, all Device Manager - Storage Navigator users with proper permissions can make LU path settings and command device settings. If you perform the following procedure in Device Manager - Storage Navigator , all users, including you, cannot make LU path settings and command device settings on the specified volume. Command Control Interface users can still make LU path settings and command device settings on the volume.

Device Manager - Storage Navigator secondary windows must be defined for use in advance. When you select Modify from the Data Retention secondary window to disable an S-VOL, other users or programs are prevented from changing storage system settings. When you close the secondary window, Modify mode is released. For more information on Device Manager - Storage Navigator secondary windows and Modify mode, see the System Administrator Guide.

Before you begin

The volume must not be carved from the accelerated compression-enabled parity group.
