Modifying the location of storage systems

Edit online

You can associate a location with a storage system after a connection has been made to that storage system.

About this task

Prerequisites: You must have Administrator privileges to modify the location of a storage system.

Changing the location of a storage system might have consequences. When a session has a volume role with a location that is linked to the location of the storage system, changing the location of the storage system could change the session's volume role location. For example, if there is one storage system with the location of A_Location and a session with the location of A_Location for its H1 role, changing the location of the storage system to a different location, such as B_Location, also changes the session's H1 location to Site 1. However, if there is a second storage system that has the location of A_Location, the session's role location is not changed.

Perform these steps to modify the location of a storage system:

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar, click Storage > Storage Systems.
  2. On the Storage Systems page, change the location of the storage system by selecting a previously defined location from the drop-down list or type a new name in the table cell.

    To disable site awareness, set the location to None.

    Note: Locations are deleted from the drop-down list when there is no longer a storage system with an association to that location.
