online help topics.

Failover Alert Display

You can change the failover alert delay for a storage array. The failover alert

delay lets you delay the logging of a critical event if the multi-path driver

transfers virtual disks to the non-preferred controller. If the multi-path driver

transfers the virtual disks back to the preferred controller within the specified

delay period, a critical event is not logged. If the transfer exceeds this delay

period, then a virtual disk-not-on-preferred-path alert is issued as a critical

event. You can also use this option to minimize multiple alerts when more

than one virtual disk fails over because of a system error, such as a failed host

adapter.
For more information, see the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager

online help topics.

Changing the Cache Settings on the Storage Array

To change the storage array cache settings:

1 In the AMW, select Storage ArrayChangeCache Settings.

Change Cache Settings window is displayed.
