Modify Eco-mode Schedule

Overview

This function modifies the Eco-mode schedule.

Up to eight events can be specified for a single Eco-mode schedule.

Caution
  • Disk operation time varies depending on the Eco-mode schedule settings and disk access. A disk is spun up even if it is outside of disk operation time in the following conditions:

    • If disk access occurs while the disk motor is stopped:

      The disk is immediately spun up and can be accessed within 1 - 5 minutes.

    • If a disk is activated more than a set amount of times in a day:

      A state of increased access frequency is assumed and the Eco-mode will cease stopping the disk motor.

Note

  • To apply the modified Eco-mode schedule to RAID groups, use the [Assign Eco-mode Schedule (RAID Group)] function.

  • To apply the modified Eco-mode schedule to Thin Provisioning Pools, use the [Assign Eco-mode Schedule (Thin Provisioning Pool)] function.
