This software can use the Eco-mode that controls the ON/OFF status for the disk drive spindle rotation for storage devices. While the RAIDGroup that is being used from the server is being verified, the disk drive spindle rotation ON/OFF status for the RAIDGroup can be controlled.
There are two Eco-modes: the "storage device Eco-mode" and the "RAIDGroup Eco-mode". The ON/OFF status can be set for each.
When the storage device Eco-mode is set to ON, the RAIDGroup Eco-mode can be set to ON/OFF.
When the RAIDGroup Eco-mode is set to ON and its schedule is set to "External", the spindle rotation of the disk drive that is used to configure the RAIDGroup can control the ON/OFF status. However, the Eco-mode operation for the "Uncontrollable RAID groups" cannot be done.
For the Eco-mode operation, the target device is selected with the Web Console and the operation is executed.
The executable operations are as follows.
Setting the device's Eco-mode to ON
Setting the device's Eco-mode to OFF
Setting the RAID Group's Eco-mode to ON
Setting the RAID Group's Eco-mode to OFF
Starting up the disk drive for which the RAID Group is configured
Stopping the disk drive for which the RAID Group is configured
