Once in Main Menu setup, you use the
Ctrl
key along with
the
F8
key (
Ctrl+F8
) to enter Data Write Protection Function
setup. The SAS hot adapter will check the password when en-
tering the Data Protection Function setup from the main menu
screen. This screen is used to configure the Write Protect Mode
and Write Protect Channel. The default for the Write Protect
Mode is for the Write Protect to be disabled. Enabling the Write
Protect prevents the Write Protect Channel devices from being
accessed. When Write Protect Channel is enabled on the Data
Protection Function, host commands fail if they are issued to
a channel in that HBA and attempt to modify a disk’s data or
attributes.
