Force Enable Module

Overview

When there is an isolated component from the storage system caused by an error, etc., this function forces the component to be enabled without replacing it (called "force enable" hereinafter).

This function is performed in a situation such as when there is a normal component which has been affected by a failed component and isolated from the storage system.

Caution
Note
  • To perform a force enable of the CA for the ETERNUS DX60 S5 with a CM-FC (CM with direct mount CA), use the force enable function for the CM that includes the CA.

Operating Procedures

  1. Select the component to perform the force enable on, and click [Force Enable] in [Action].

    → A confirmation screen appears.

  2. Click the [OK] button.

    → The force enable starts.

  3. Click the [Done] button to return to the screen when the target component was selected in Step 1.

    Note
    • When forcibly enabling a NAS-CA or a NAS-CA port, access to the network may not be available just after mounting the components. Connect to the network after waiting approximately 10 minutes.
