Visual Manager User Interface
—Manual Discovery Only (default) sets discovery of new devices to occur only after the user selects the Discovery option from the Main Menu or when a Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) is received from a fabric.
Note: SCSI devices attached to a Fibre Channel must be mapped as sequential Fibre Channel LUNs starting at LUN number 00. Skipping LUN numbers is not recommended when mapping Fibre Channel LUNs because Fibre Channel Discovery stops the discovery process whenever an empty LUN position is found.
■Buffered Tape Writes (default: enabled) enables or disables the Buffered Tape Write option.
Caution: If this configuration setting is incorrectly set, processing difficulties may occur. Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the router configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.
When enabled, to enhance performance, Buffered Tape Writes return status on consecutive write commands prior to the tape device receiving data.
■Buffered Tape Queue Depth sets the Buffered Tape Queue Depth. Select a setting of 0 through 10 from the
■Default Map (default: indexed) sets the current mapping mode for the selected port.
The current map can be set to:
—Port 0 Device Map (HP recommends that this map be used to edit and assign oncoming hosts.)
—Indexed (default) (HP recommends that this map NOT be edited, even though the user is able to edit the Indexed map.)
