Changing the Access Attributes
To change the access attributes of volumes and apply the changes to the storage system, take the
following steps:
Important:
• If you change the access attribute of a volume to Read Only or Protect, you will usually be
prohibited from changing the access attribute to Read/Write for a certain period of time. The
Data Retention window displays the words Retention Term to indicate the period during which
attempts to change the access attribute to Read/Write are prohibited. If you need to change
the access attribute to Read/Write during the retention term, you must ask your HP service
representative to do so.
• If you change the access attribute of a volume to S-VOL Disable, storage system copy software
will be unable to copy data to the volume.
To change access attributes of one or more volumes:
1. Ensure that you are in Modify mode. For detailed information, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000 Remote Web Console User’s Guide.
2. In the Data Retention window ( Figure 1 on page 15), select an LDKC number from the LDKC
drop-down list.
3. From the CU Group drop-down list, select a group to which a CU belongs.
The tree displays a list of CUs in the specified CU group.
4. Select a CU from the tree.
The volume list displays a list of volumes in the specified CU.
5. Select and right-click a volume whose access attribute you want to change.
Note: You may select multiple volumes.
6. Select Attribute in the pop-up menu, and then select the desired access attribute from the submenu
( Figure 2 on page 20). If you select Read Only or Protect, you must also take the following steps:
a. In the Term Setting dialog box ( Figure 4 on page 21), enter the desired retention term.
To protect the volume indefinitely, select Unlimited.
