Viewing DS8000 advanced settings

Edit online

You can use the Copy Services Manager GUI to view and download a file that contains the advanced settings for DS8000 storage systems.

About this task

The DS8000 advanced settings file highlights which settings are modified from the default values. The only values that are displayed in the table are properties that are not set to the default values.
Notes: To view the advanced settings, two conditions must be met:
  • The DS8000 system must be at version 8.1.1. or higher.
  • The user who is connected to the Hardware Management Console (HMC) must have admin-level access on the DS8000.

Perform these steps to view the advanced settings for a DS8000 storage system by using the Copy Services Manager GUI:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Copy Services Manager GUI as an administrator.
  2. In the menu bar, click Storage > Storage Systems.
  3. From the Storage Systems tab, select the DS8000 storage system for which you want to view the advanced settings.
  4. Click Select Action > View Advanced Settings.
  5. A table is displayed that lists the advanced settings properties for the selected DS8000 storage system. The current value for each property is shown, along with the associated default value for that property.
    Notes:
    • If all values are set to the default, then no table is displayed.
    • You cannot modify the advanced settings from within this table. You can only view and download them.
  6. You can open the advanced settings file, or save it to your local system.
  7. Click OK to close the advanced settings information when you are finished.
