Managing File System Operations
| 2 Click OK to close the warning window and proceed, or click Cancel | ||
|
| to abort the unlabeling process. If you click OK, a status window | |
|
| appears. | |
| 3 Click Close when the status displays Success. The Label Disk | ||
|
| Device screen now shows the device with no label name. | |
|
|
| |
|
| Note: If you decide later to make an unlabeled device usable by | |
|
| the StorNext File System, you must first relabel the device. | |
|
| The relabeling process is identical to labeling initially, as | |
|
| described in Labeling a Device on page 98. | |

| Probing a Device | ||
| Use the following procedure to probe a disk device. | ||
| 1 After selecting from the Disk Devices box the device you want to | ||
|
| probe, click Probe. The Probe Disk Device Status window appears. | |
| 2 Click Close when the status displays Success. | ||
|
|
| |
|
| Note: The probe should activate the light on the disk or RAID. | |

| The global section of the file system configuration file contains general | ||
Making Global Changes | |||
parameters that control system performance, components related to the | |||
| |||
| file system’s resource consumption, and whether features are enabled or | ||
| disabled. | ||
| For most of these parameters, restarting the File System Manager (FSM) | ||
| causes the modified parameters to take effect. However, the File System | ||
| Block Size and Windows Security parameters require that the file | ||
| system be remade before they take effect. Remaking the file system | ||
| results in data loss, so you should carefully plan the initial configuration | ||
| of these two parameters in order to reduce the number of file system | ||
| remakes. If a parameter change requires a file system remake, the system | ||
| notifies the administrator in the system log. | ||
| The global section also contains several parameters that can dramatically | ||
| improve or degrade system performance, so you should exercise caution | ||
| when modifying performance parameters. |
