HP P6000 Cluster Extension Software Installation Guide (5697-2275, November 2012)

Resetting the DR group GUI display
After the upgrade is complete, the P6000 Cluster Extension resource configuration GUI displays
a blank value for the DR group Write mode property for existing P6000 Cluster Extension resources.
P6000 Cluster Extension will work as expected even though the Write mode is not displayed in
the GUI.
If you want to view the correct Write mode value in the GUI, perform the following procedure:
1. Open the P6000 Cluster Extension resource configuration tool or the Parameters tab in Cluster
Administrator or Failover Cluster Management.
2. Click Advanced Settings and record the configured values for Application Startup behavior,
Failsafe mode override, and Use non-current data ok.
3. Click Browse and then click OK to reselect the DR group.
4. Click Advanced Settings and enter the values recorded in Step 2.
NOTE: For instructions on using the resource configuration GUI, see the HP P6000 Cluster
Extension Administrator Guide.
