8.2.8 Enable ODX
This function enables the ODX function.
This function supports ODX, which is provided for servers with "Windows Server 2012". ODX is a function that
offloads the load on data copying and migration to the storage system.
The procedure to enable the ODX function is as follows:
Procedure
1Click [Enable ODX] in [Action].
A confirmation screen appears.
2Click the [OK] button.
Enabling of ODX starts.
3Click the [Done] button to return to the [Setting] screen.
End of procedure
To start using the ODX function, the server must recognize that ODX is enabled in the ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system. After enabling ODX with this function, reboot the server.
ODX requires dedicated volumes (ODX Buffer volumes) to save data before updating. ODX Buffer volumes
can be created after ODX is enabled. Refer to "8.2.10 Create ODX Buffer Volume" (page 311) for details.
The ETERNUS DX Disk 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 ETERNUS DX Disk storage system. Copying to
other storage systems i s not supported.
ODX does not require the registration of an Advanced Copy license and copy table size settings.
