Changing to Modify mode

To implement any changes for Volume Manager or CVS, you must be in Modify mode. The array

information icons (

and

) are on the upper right of the pane. These icons are

described in detail in the HP StorageWorks Command View XP user guide for XP Disk Arrays or the

HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200. To change from

View mode to Modify mode and back, two icons are important.

Exclusive lock icons indicate the operation mode of all currently logged-in users. If all users are
operating in View mode, the Unlocked icon (

) appears. If a user is operating in Modify mode,

or if array maintenance or SNMP operations are being performed, the Locked icon (

) appears.

Mode Changing icons allow users to change the operation mode between View mode () and
Modify mode ( ).

NOTE:

Only one user at a time can be in Modify mode.
