Changing Behavior Modes and Parameters

If you are in the JBOD Personality mode, the default values and parameters are already set in the NVDATA. If your controller is in JBOD Personality mode, you can change the behavior mode and the parameters as per your requirements.

Perform the following steps to change the behavior mode and parameters:

1.	In the Change Personality screen, select the Change Behavior Mode checkbox.

2.	From the Select Behavior Mode drop-down list, select an appropriate behavior mode. The available behavior modes are:

JBOD - If all the physical drives are in unconfigured good state, once you select the JBOD mode, all the physical drives are automatically converted to JBOD physical drives.

NONE - All the physical drives are automatically converted to unconfigured good state.

3.	If you have selected JBOD as your behavior mode, you can also select the required parameters from Configure Parameters.

The availability of these configuration parameters depend on the behavior mode that you selected. Depending on the behavior mode you select, some parameters might be enabled or disabled. However, all the available parameters are listed below.

Auto secure SED – Enables or disables the automatic security feature of FDE-capable drives.

SES Management – Enables or disables the enclosure management options.

Multipath Enabled – Enables or disables multipathing.

MultiInit Enabled – Indicates whether the firmware supports multiple initiators, sharing the same storage. If MultiInit is enabled, when one initiator issues a target reset due to I/O timeout, it does not result in another initiator issuing the target reset due to topology change event.

4.	Select the appropriate configuration parameters and click Change.
