Enable ODX

Overview

This function enables the ODX function.

Caution

  • To start using the ODX function, the server must recognize that ODX is enabled in the storage system. After enabling ODX with this function, reboot the server.

  • ODX requires a dedicated volume (ODX Buffer volume) to save data before updating. An ODX Buffer volume can be created after ODX is enabled. Refer to the [Create ODX Buffer Volume] function for details.

  • The storage system does not support an Advanced Copy when the copy destination is a volume that is being used by the ODX function.

  • The ODX function only supports copying within the same storage system. Copying to other storage systems is not supported.

Note

  • ODX does not require the registration of an Advanced Copy license and copy table size settings.
