ARRAY OPTIONS

DEFAULTS

and

. The default for this option is 12.

 

RPT AS

$65(&29(5is set to 21when it is necessary for Unit Attention

RECOVER

conditions to be reported as Recovered Errors rather than with a Unit Attention.

 

 

This is determined by the needs of the operating system and the driver. Default

 

 

is

.

 

 

 

 

TEMP

Use this option to change the temperature at which the array will issue an alarm

WARNING

and warning display (:, the warning threshold for overheating conditions. This

 

 

temperature warning can be set in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, and refers to

 

 

the temperature detected by the sensor on the controller board.

 

TEMP

In addition to the temperature warning (:), there is another, higher temperature

CRITICAL

at which the array’s drives are automatically shut down (50 degrees Celsius).

menu option allows you to enable or disable this automatic shutdown feature.

 

 

Positions are 21and 2)). (When 2)), the unit attention and alarm are still

 

 

issued but the array does not shut down.)

 

 

AUTO

The megometer feature displays the array’s current data transfer rate in

MEGOMETER

megabytes per second. Because transfer rates vary considerably from moment

(ON/OFF)

to moment, the rate shown is actually the average transfer rate for a two-second

period. This averaging yields a more accurate representation of overall transfer

 

 

 

 

performance.

 

 

 

 

 

When the megometer is 21, the transfer rate is the default display unless some

 

 

other message preempts it. When you switch the megometer display 2))the

 

 

transfer rate will not display until you switch it 21again.

 

 

 

Note When you select the auto megometer display, it will not take effect

 

 

 

until the next subsystem reset or power cycle has occurred.

ARRAY NAME

Use this option to specify a logical name or designator for the array. This feature

 

 

is a convenience where multiple array units are used and need to be

distinguished from one another with assigned names. The array name is a user- definable 14-character string, and is displayed on line 1 in place of 21/,1(. The displayed name will be replaced by error messages or menu selection titles when active.
