ALUA Support field values
Value Definition
Implicit The logical unit can change its ALUA access state internally within
the array without any external input requesting a change.
Explicit The logical unit can change its ALUA access state in response to a
request from an initiator (metro node back-end software).
Implicit explicit The logical unit has both implicit and explicit capabilities.
None ALUA is not supported on the array.
Visibility field values
Value Definition
Active optimized All commands and task management functions can be sent on this path; this path
has the highest performance (ALUA arrays only).
Active non-optimized All commands and task management functions can be sent on this path, but the
path has a lower performance than an active optimized path (ALUA arrays only).
Active The controller is actively processing I/O requests.
Passive The controller is in standby mode waiting to process I/O should the active primary
controller fail or be taken offline.
Both Both controllers process I/O and provide standby capability for each other. One
controller is actively processing I/O while the other is idle in standby mode waiting
to process I/O should the active primary controller fail or be taken offline.
None ALUA is not supported on the array.
Extent or Device mobility job properties
Mobility Job
Name
The name of the mobility job.
Source The name of the source extent or source device.
Target The name of the target extent or target device.
Start Time The date and time the job started. Note that N/A may display in this field if you are connected to one
cluster and view the properties of a job that was started on another cluster.
Transfer Speed The maximum number of bytes of data transferred at a time from the source to the target. You can
change the transfer speed in the properties dialog box while the job is in the queue or in progress. Mobility
job transfer speed provides more information on selecting the transfer speed.
Status The status of the extent or device mobility job. Mobility job status provides more information.
Metro node port properties
Enabled Port
Indicates whether or not the port is enabled. Use the checkbox to enable or disable the port.
Port Name The ID number for the metro node port.
Port Name Name of the port.
Director ID The ID of the director on which the port is located.
Port WWN The port's World Wide Name (WWN). The WWN is a unique network identifier for the port.
