D.3.8.4 Changing All Partitions to Include All Hosts
You can change all partitions to include all hosts from the General
InfoShield menu. This lets you quickly change the InfoShield setting for
all partitions at once to permit all hosts to see all partitions, overriding
the existing setting for each partition. However, the EF2800 retains all
existing include and exclude lists.
If you use this option and later need to change back to your previous
InfoShield settings, you must do so by changing the setting for each
partition individually. See section
D.3.8.3 on page 254 .
To change all partitions to include all hosts:
1.
From the System Menu, select
Configuration Menu
and press
<Enter>. The Configuration Menu displays.
2.
Select
General InfoShield
and press <Enter>.
The General InfoShield screen displays.
3.
Select
Include All Hosts
and press <Enter>.
The system confirms that the changes are made.
4.
Press <Esc> to return to the General InfoShield screen.
D.3.9 Deleting a Partition
You can delete a partition when you no longer need it and you want to
use the space for another purpose.
Caution ! Deleting a partition deletes all data contained in the partition.
NOTE: You cannot delete a partition while any utility (Initialize, Verify,
Expand, or Reconstruct) is running on the array. You must stop the utility,
if allowed, or let it finish before you can delete the partition.
