4–18Configuring Storagesets

Changing Initialize Switches

The Initialize switches cannot be changed without destroying the data on the storageset or device. These switches are integral to the formatting and can only be changed by reinitializing the storageset. Initializing a storageset is similar to formatting a disk drive; all data is destroyed during this procedure.

Changing Unit Switches

Use the SET command to change Unit switches that are associated with a unit. For example, the following command enables write protection for unit D100:

SET D100 WRITE_PROTECT
