Summary Area | |
The Access logical drive: field displays the LUN being used for the access logical drive, if present. | |
For more information on the Start cache flushing at (in percentage), Stop cache flushing at (in percentage), and Cache block size (in KB) fields, see Specifying Storage Subsystem Cache Settings. | |
For more information on the Media scan duration (in days), see Changing the Media Scan Duration. | |
Controller Information | |
There are three data fields, Topology, World-wide
port name, and World-wide node name that only apply to fibre
channel host interfaces. These three terms are not displayed on the Controller Properties dialog. For information about any other data field in the Controller Information area, see Viewing Controller Properties. |

Storage Partitions Information | |
The Topology section describes the Storage Subsystem Topology definitions that
have been configured for the Storage Subsystem. Note: If no definitions have been configured, this section will list Default Host Group. The Logical Drive-to-LUN Mapping section shows the mapping data for each logical drive in the Storage Subsystem. Note: If no specific mappings have been configured, this section will list Default Host Group after each logical drive and its LUN number. For more information, see Introducing Storage Partitions. |
How to Save a Storage Subsystem Profile to a Text File
1 | Select File, then Save As. Result: The Save Profile dialog is displayed. |
2 | Choose an appropriate directory. |
3 | Type the file name of your choice in the File Name text box. You do not need to specify a file extension,
but to associate the file with a particular software application that will open it, an extension such as .txt is
helpful. Example: Name the file Southwest SA Profile 030199. This name identifies the Storage Subsystem (Southwest) and the date of the profile (030199). |
4 | Select Save. Result: A file containing the selected Profile data is saved to the Profile Data directory. ![]() |
