Description
Use the Console to select from the following vDisk access modes:
- Private Image – Select this mode if a vDisk is only used by a single target device (read/write access is enabled).
- Standard Image – Select this mode if a vDisk is shared by multiple target devices (write-cache options enabled).
To configure the vDisk mode and any applicable write cache destination:
Note: Only those write cache destinations that are supported for Standard access mode appear enabled.
- On the Console, right-click on the vDisk for which you want to configure the vDisk access mode, then select vDisk Properties. The vDisk Properties dialog appears.
- Click on the General tab, then select the image mode (Standard or Private) that applies to this vDisk from the Access Mode drop-down list.
- If Standard image was selected, from the cache destination drop-down list, select the appropriate write cache destination. (Refer to the section that follows for write-cache destination descriptions.)
- Click OK to exit the vDisk Properties dialog.
