CAUTION:

• If the GUI displays a warning message, manually refresh the corresponding storage system inform-

ation.

You can also specify the settings so that information in the database is automatically updated in

case a user forgets to perform a manual refresh after changing the storage system configuration.

To do so, set up the following properties:

server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.doRefresh property

server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.type property

• The Device Manager server cannot detect the following configuration change performed on P9500

or XP24000/XP20000:

Creating, changing, or deleting copy pairs

Changing the status of an LDEV (such as Normal, Blocked, or Copying)

Changing the access attribute of an LDEV (such as Read/Write, Read Only, or Protect)

• In the Device Manager server the configurations of P9500 or XP24000/XP20000 are treated as

changed for the following triggers:

Restarting SVP

Refreshing the configuration information of P9500 or XP24000/XP20000 displayed in Remote

Web Console.

Switching the SVP in a cluster configuration from the executing node to the standby node, or vice

versa.

Turning on the DKC

The configuration of a THP/Smart pool is changed

The configuration of the Snapshot data pool is changed

For P9500, if you specify false for the server.dispatcher.daemon.configUpdate.de-

tection.variable.enabled property, you can prevent a warning message from being

displayed in the Device Manager GUI when the pool configuration is changed.

server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.doRefresh

This property specifies whether to automatically refresh the storage system information in the database

if the Device Manager server detects that the configuration of a P9500 or XP24000/XP20000 storage

system has changed.

If true is specified for this property and a user does not perform a manual refresh after the Device

Manager server detects a change, the information of P9500 or XP24000/XP20000 in the database

is automatically refreshed at the interval specified in the

server.dispatcher.daemon.autoSynchro.type property. If false is specified, the database

is not automatically refreshed.

Default: true
