Access attribute restrictions

Some restrictions apply when you use the following VSP G200, G400, G600, G800 or VSP F400, F600, F800 products or functions on a volume that has an access attribute assigned to it.

Virtual LUN

• You cannot convert into spaces volumes that do not have the read/write attribute.

• You cannot initialize customized volumes that do not have the read/write attribute.

Command Control Interface

• You can use Command Control Interface to make some Data Retention Utility settings. You can view some of the CCI settings in the Data Retention Utility user interface.

• When viewing the Data Retention window, another user might be using CCI to change an access attribute of a volume. If the CCI user changes an access attribute of a volume when you are viewing the Data Retention window, you will be unable to change the access attribute of the volume by using Data Retention Utility. If you attempt to change the access attribute of the volume by using the Data Retention Utility, an error occurs. If the error occurs, refresh the display, then retry changing the access attribute of the volume.

Automatically started software

If any software that can start automatically is enabled, you must do one of the following:

• Perform Data Retention Utility operations when the program is not running.

• Cancel the setting of the program start time.

Some software is likely to start automatically at the time specified by the user. For example, if a Volume Migration user or a Performance Monitoring user specifies the time for starting the monitor, the monitor will automatically start at the specified time.
