Synchronize storage array clocks
If Network Time Protocol (NTP) is not enabled, you can manually set the clocks on the controllers so they are synchronized with the management client (the system used to run the browser that accesses SANtricity System Manager).
Save storage array configuration
You can save a storage array's configuration information in a script file to save time setting up additional storage arrays with the same configuration.
Clear storage array configuration
Use the Clear Configuration operation when you want to delete all the pools, volume groups, volumes, host definitions, and host assignments from the storage array.
Configure login banner
You can create a login banner that is presented to users before they establish sessions in SANtricity System Manager. The banner can include an advisory notice and a consent message.
Manage session timeouts
You can configure timeouts in SANtricity System Manager, so that users' inactive sessions are disconnected after a specified time.
Set host connectivity reporting
You can enable host connectivity reporting so the storage array continuously monitors the connection between the controllers and the configured hosts, and then alerts you if the connection is disrupted. This feature is enabled by default.
Set automatic load balancing
The Automatic Load Balancing feature ensures that incoming I/O traffic from the hosts is dynamically managed and balanced across both controllers. This feature is enabled by default, but you can disable it from System Manager.
Change default host type
Use the Change Default Host Operating System setting to change the default host type at the storage array level. Generally, you will change the default host type before you connect hosts to the storage array or when you connect additional hosts.
Enable or disable legacy management interface
You can enable or disable the legacy management interface (SYMbol), which is a method of communication between the storage array and the management client.
Enable or disable resource provisioning for new volumes
If you previously disabled the default feature for resource provisioning, you can go to Settings and re-enable it for any new SSD volume groups or pools that you create. You can also disable the setting again.
