PCIe Flash Module
Overview
This function displays the PCIe Flash Module (PFM) information.
If a PFM is not available for reading and writing, "Error" is displayed for the status. If this occurs, replace the PFM.
PFMs can be installed in the ETERNUS DX500 S5/DX600 S5/DX900 S5 and the ETERNUS DX8900 S4.
The PFM capacity in each CE is used as an Extreme Cache capacity.
With this function, the PFMs that are only installed (before the hot expansion operation) in the storage system are displayed.
