The storage array comes with ODX turned on. Use this command to turn off ODX if you do not want to run ODX, or if ODX is causing issues with the storage array. The only storage array that is affected is the storage array on which the command is run.

Notes
ODX provides a way to transfer data without using buffered read and buffered write operations and does not require direct host involvement with the data transfer operation. When ODX is not enabled, data is read from the source storage to the host, and then written to the target storage from the host. With ODX enabled, the data transfer operations are directly managed by the storage infrastructure. The data is moved directly from the source storage to the target storage without going through the host.
