6-1 Changing operation modes of XP Replication Monitor
software
To prevent XP Replication Monitor software from performing an operation on a storage device, such as during
micro code conversion in a storage subsystem, you must set the operation mode to the maintenance mode. This
section explains how to change the operation mode.
6-1-1 XP Replication Monitor software operation modes
XP Replication Monitor software can operate in the normal or maintenance mode.
• Normal mode
This is the default mode. In this mode, all operations, including auto refresh, manual refresh, and copy pair
manipulation, can be performed.
• Maintenance mode
In this mode, auto refresh is stopped, and manual refresh, copy pair manipulation, and configuration
information acquisition are all disabled. The buttons used for executing these operations are disabled and
cannot be clicked.
The mode area showing the XP Replication Monitor software information on the Dashboard displays Running in
the normal mode and Maintenance in the maintenance mode. If the mode is being changed from the normal
mode to the maintenance mode, the mode area displays Transition to Maintenance.
To change the mode, from the Explorer menu, select Administration and then Maintenance, and use the window
that opens.
6-1-2 Changing the operation mode
To change from the normal mode to the maintenance mode:
1. From the Explorer menu, select Administration and then Maintenance.
The application area shows that the current mode is Normal.
2. Click the Change Mode button.
A dialog box for confirming the change to the maintenance mode appears.
