5.4.3 Setting Router to master
As you move through the toolbar, you may notice that most selections have been
grayed out. This is due to the fact that the Router is currently in a subordinate
role and does not have access to create mirrors or composite drives. This
function is done by a Master Router. There can be only one master in a SLIC
loop. This is used as more Routers and more disks can be added to the loop.
With several Routers in the same loop, there needs to be a requirement where
one system acts as the control, and the others will follow and understand any
configuration changes that may occur.
To set the Router into a master role, select File -> Program Option from the top
toolbar. You will be presented a dialog box, as shown in Figure 5-12.
