Configuration
4.1 Introduction
Configuration activities involve the following:
• Setting or modifying controller options to suit your application needs
• Modifying physical device options for data transfer or tag value
• Creating, modifying, or deleting Mylex RAID Controller configurations
• Loading a configuration from disk and saving it to the controller
4.2 Configuration Lock
GAM TT Client provides a Configuration Lock feature that enables write
access to be locked on a controller system. This feature will occur during
critical activities such as changing controller options, creating or deleting
controller configurations, clearing configurations etc....
This feature is automatically enabled when two controller systems try to
perform critical activities simultaneously. The user that first initiates a
critical activity will generate the lock and the other user will be locked out
of that controller system. The following message dialog box will open
(Figure 4.1) to notify you that a Configuration Lock is in progress.
