Enabling Premium Features You can enable premium features on the storage array. To enable the premium features, you must obtain a feature key file specific to the premium feature that you want to enable from your storage supplier. To enable premium features: 1 From the toolbar in AMW, select Storage Array Premium Features. The Premium Features and Feature Pack Information window is displayed. 2 Select the relevant premium feature, and click Enable. The Select Feature Key File dialog is displayed. 3 Navigate to the relevant folder, select the appropriate key file, and click OK. 4 Click Close. For more information, see the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager online help topics. Failover Alert Display You can change the failover alert delay for a storage array. The failover alert delay lets you delay the logging of a critical event if the multi-path driver transfers virtual disks to the non-preferred controller. If the multi-path driver transfers the virtual disks back to the preferred controller within the specified delay period, a critical event is not logged. If the transfer exceeds this delay period, then a virtual disk-not-on-preferred-path alert is issued as a critical event. You can also use this option to minimize multiple alerts when more than one virtual disk fails over because of a system error, such as a failed host adapter. For more information, see the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager online help topics. Changing the Cache Settings on the Storage Array To change the storage array cache settings: 1 In the AMW, select Storage Array Change Cache Settings. The Change Cache Settings window is displayed. 72 Configuration: About Your Storage Array
