For the following features, the current copy processing
slows down when the percentage of “dirty” data is 60%
or higher, and it stops when the percentage is 75% or
higher. Mode 467 is provided to prevent the percentage
from exceeding 60%, so that the host performance is not
affected.

Mode 467 = ON: Copy overload prevention. Copy
processing stops when the percentage of “dirty” data
reaches 60% or higher. When the percentage falls below
60%, copy processing restarts.
Mode 467 = OFF: Normal operation. The copy processing
slows down if the dirty percentage is 60% or larger, and
it stops if the dirty percentage is 75% or larger.
Caution: This mode must always be set to ON when
using an external volume as the secondary volume of
any of the above-mentioned replication products.
Note: It takes longer to finish the copy processing
because it stops for prioritizing the host I/O
performance.

Since the SIM-RC 601xxx that are generated when the
usage rate of Pool used by Snapshot exceeds the
threshold value can be resolved by users, basically they
are not reported to the maintenance personnel.This
option is used to inform maintenance personnel of these
SIMs that are basically not reported to maintenance
personnel in case these SIMs must be reported to them.
SIMs reported by setting the mode to ON are:
SIM-RC 601xxx (Pool utilization threshold excess)
(Earlier than 70-05-0x-00/00)
SIM-RC 601xxx (Pool utilization threshold excess)/
603000 (SM Space Warning) (70-05-0x-00/00 or
higher:)
Mode 471 = ON:This kind of SIMs is reported to
maintenance personnel.Mode 471 = OFF (default):This
kind of SIMs is not reported to maintenance
personnel.Note:Set this mode to ON when it is required
to inform maintenance personnel of the SIM-RC(*)
SIMs reported by setting the mode to ON are:
SIM-RC 601xxx (Pool utilization threshold excess)
(Earlier than 70-05-0x-00/00)
