only for the duration of the user session. At the next login by this user,
privileges revert to read-only. There is no equivalent override command
for the WMI, and it is not possible to use the WMI to make changes to the
Array settings at all when the Array is in XMS managed mode.
Overriding XMS managed mode still allows XMS operations to proceed.
For example:
• XMS continues polling for statistics.
• You may still make configuration changes to the Array via XMS, and
those changes will be made on the Array. Similarly, changes made to
an XMS Network (XMS Release 6.5 and later) that includes this Array
will still be “pushed” to this Array—this will entirely replace the
Array’s configuration with XMS settings, replacing any local settings
that you made on the Array.
XMS will be unaware of changes to Array settings that are made locally
using the xms-override CLI command until the next XMS refresh cycle
(typically daily), resulting in the Array’s settings being out of
synchronization with XMS. In XMS, you may go to the Monitor > Arrays
or Configure > Arrays page, select the Array, and click the Refresh
button to synchronize XMS with your change,. This causes XMS to read
the current configuration of the Array and update the XMS database with
these values.
XMS Non-Managed Mode:
 The Array operates in this mode by default, and stays in this mode if it is
not put into XMS managed mode as described above.
 A user with administrator privileges (read-write) has normal unrestricted
access to modify settings via the WMI and CLI, as determined by the user
account write privileges.

For troubleshooting or emergency purposes, write access to the Array is
always available via the serial (console) port. You can also use Xircon for this
purpose, if so instructed by Xirrus Customer Support.
