Volume Retention Manager Spreadsheet Settings
You can write the following function tags and parameters in a Volume Retention Manager spreadsheet.
The Serial Number tag and the LDKC tag can be omitted but the Attribute tag is necessary.
• [Serial Number]
Specify the serial number of the storage system.
• [LDKC]
Specify the LDKC (00 or 01) which you want to set access attributes. If you do not specify, 00 is
used by default.
• [Attribute]
Specify CU, LDEV, and access attributes. You can write settings from 1 LDEV up to 65,280 LDEVs.
Specify the following for access attributes:
• Read/Write
• Read Only

Error Check
To apply the access attributes to the storage system, error checks are performed three times. This
section describes each of these checks.
First Error Check
The first error check is performed when the spreadsheet file is imported. The first error check verifies
that the spreadsheet is properly formatted. If there is an error, the spreadsheet is rejected, and an
error message is displayed. Errors detected at this first check include the following:
• The first row of the spreadsheet (the declaration line) is not correctly written. For more information
on the declaration line, see “
Spreadsheet Declaration ” on page 30.
• The spreadsheet file is not in text file format (the file is a binary file).
• There is no function tag in the spreadsheet. For more information on the function tag, see
“
Function Tags ” on page 30.
• The file name is incorrect (for example, the extension is not .spd, or the file name exceeds the
maximum number of letters).
• The number of letters in a row exceeds 127.
• The number of rows in a spreadsheet exceeds 70,000.
Second Error Check
In the second check, the spreadsheet settings are verified. Any errors found are displayed on the Error
Information list. This second check is performed before the Apply button becomes available.
Figure
11 on page 33 shows the flow of the second check.
The second error check consists of two different types of checks. These checks are shown in Figure
11 on page 33 as Level 1 and Level 2. The Level 2 check is performed only when no error is found
by the Level 1 check. Each level of the check of the second error check detects the following errors:
• Level 1 check (the format and parameters are checked):
• A function tag is not supported.
