Viewing and Changing Disk Drive Access Modes
Disk drives that are attached individually, rather than as
members of an array, have one of four access modes:
Public
The disk drive can be accessed through both adapters in the cluster
Local
The disk drive can be accessed only through the adapter that you have
selected from the SSA Adapter List menu
Private
The disk drive cannot be accessed through the adapter that you have
selected from the SSA Adapter List menu. The disk drive can be
accessed only through the other adapter in the cluster
No Access
The disk drive cannot be accessed through either adapter in the cluster
The default access mode is Public.
Arrays always have an access mode of Public.
To view and change the access modes of individually attached disk drives:
The following window opens:
In this example, resource 1 is a disk drive that can be
accessed only by the adapter that you selected in (above) step 2. Resource 2
is a disk drive that can be accessed only by the other adapter in the
same cluster. Resource 3 is an array and resource 4 a disk drive,
both of which can be accessed by either adapter.
To change the access mode of a disk drive, highlight it in the
list and
press key F6, F7, or F8 as appropriate. Pressing F7 changes the
access mode to Local, when viewed through the current adapter, it
appears as Private when viewed through the other adapter in the cluster.
You must use this facility if you want to boot from an SSA disk. In
this case, when you view the resources through the adapter that is
installed in the system that you want to boot, the access mode of the
boot disk must be Local.
