Managing Virtual Drives : Modifying Virtual Drive Properties

Modifying Virtual Drive Properties

You can change the read policy, write policy, and other virtual drive properties at any time after a virtual drive is created. Perform the following steps to modify the virtual drive settings.

1.

Navigate to the Controller dashboard, click a drive group name (for example, DG_1). Click the icon corresponding to a drive group to display its contents.

The virtual drives and physical drives associated with the selected drive group appear.

2.

Click the virtual drive whose settings you want to change.

3.

Select Actions > Modify Properties.

The Modify <Virtual Drive Name> dialog appears.

NOTE  If the controller supports High Availability DAS, the Provide Shared Access option appears in the above dialog. Select this option if you want the virtual drive to be shared between the two servers in a cluster.

4.

Change the virtual drive properties as needed. For information about these properties, see Selecting Virtual Drive Settings.

5.

Click Save Settings.
