Configuring the Array Operating Settings
There are several settings that control the operation of the array. The values
selected for these settings are determined by the operating environment.
The various settings and when they need to be changed are listed in the
following table. Identify the settings that need to be changed and perform the
required steps.
Note To view the current array settings, type
vfpdsp -s
Setting Default When to change
Host port behavior HP-UX If the host(s) connected to the array are running
an operating system other than HP-UX. Also, if
the CommandView SDM management host is not
an HP-UX host.

with a 2 Gbit/sec data rate

reset is required to invoke all new settings, so change all the necessary settings and then reset the array.
