Preview Dialog Box

Use the Preview dialog box to check or cancel the settings that will be applied to the local storage system. To display the Preview dialog box, click Preview in the Volume Operation window, the Path Operation window, or the Port Operation window. This document uses the phrase XP External Storage windows for these three windows.

The contents displayed in the Preview dialog box are displayed in blue and italics in the list of the XP External Storage windows. The contents displayed in the Preview dialog box have not yet been applied to the local storage system. When you click Apply on the XP External Storage windows, the settings in the Preview dialog box are applied to the local storage system. When the settings are applied, the contents of the Preview dialog box disappear, and the list of the XP External Storage windows appears normally. When you click Cancel on the XP External Storage windows, all the settings in the Preview dialog box are canceled.

When the settings in the Preview dialog box are not applied to the local storage system even if you click Apply on the XP External Storage windows, an error message appears and the erroneous settings are displayed in blue and italics in the XP External Storage windows. To see the error detail, click Preview to open the Preview dialog box.

The identical error codes may be displayed for all the errors listed in the Preview dialog box depending on the type of errors occurred. In this case, check the status of settings and identify the error source.
