•
The row after the function tag indicates the required setting items (Cha and PcbMode in the
example) for the function. The setting items are separated by commas.
•
Example:
[Cha]
#Cha, PcbMode
•
The existing settings for the function are written. The existing settings row, which starts with #$,
is recognized as a comment row.
Caution:
The settings in the rows that start with #$ are not allowed to change.
•
Example:
[LUN]
#Port, Group Id, LunId, Ldkc, Cu, Ldev (items to be changed)
#$1C,0,1,1,1,1 (existing settings row)
•
An example of the declaration and the function tag is as follows.
#!Version 05_00_00,LUN,Change
[Cha]
[Port]
[HostGroup]
[WWN]
[LUN]
[LDEV]
As a general rule , the settings are applied to the storage system one at a time, in the order they appear
in the spreadsheet. This means that the settings of the prior function tags can affect the following function
tags. For example, if you were to delete a host group in the [HostGroup] tag, the path settings related to
the deleted host group would also be automatically deleted. If you then write the new settings for the
automatically deleted path in the [LUN] tag or the [WWN] tag, an error would occur.
Configuration Definitions
There are three types of configuration definitions: adding new settings, deleting current settings, and
changing current settings.
•
Adding new settings. You can add new settings if the current settings area of the spreadsheet is
blank (see
•
Deleting current settings. You can delete existing current settings by making the new settings
area blank.
•
Changing current settings. You can change existing current settings by writing a different setting
in the new settings area. The format of the existing setting and the new settings must be the same
The configuration definition consists of the index and the parameter (see
on page 89). The
index is fixed for each function tag, so it must be the same for both the current settings and the new
settings. By modifying the settings in the parameter, you can add, delete, or change the settings.
You can write the configuration definition either between a function tag and another function tag, or
between a function tag and the end of the file. A configuration definition allows you to set the parameters
(adding, deleting, or changing) for the storage system. A row of configuration definitions can be divided
into the current settings area, a blank column, and the new settings area.
Configuration definition settings must comply with the following:
•
The current settings area and the new settings area must be in exactly the same format, with three
blank columns in between.
•
The maximum number of columns for the settings depends on the program product, and is stated
in the declaration row.
•
The number of the available columns for each function tag depends on the number of parameters
that can be set for each function and on the version of the spreadsheet.
•
When the current spreadsheet file is downloaded, the new settings area is left blank. All of
the columns should be separated by commas.
•
You may not change the indexes, and all of the specified index settings indexes must match the
actual settings.
