Restricted SDC mode
Figure 41 Add Volume window
After you finish
To use the created volume, you must map it to (at least) one SDC. If the restricted
SDC mode is enabled for the system, you must approve SDCs prior to mapping
volumes to them. For more information on approving SDCs, see "Approve SDCs using
the VxFlex OS GUI". For more information on mapping volumes, see "Mapping a
volume to an SDC".
Enabling restricted SDC mode gives you more control over VxFlex OS.
Restricted SDC mode is set at the system level. When enabled, you must approve
SDCs prior to mapping volumes to them. The restricted SDC setting has the following
modes:
No restriction — Volumes can be mapped without pre-approving SDCs.
l
GUID restriction — SDCs are approved using their GUID. Only once the SDC is
l
approved can it be used for mapping volumes.
Approved IP restriction — SDCs must be approved using their GUID and IP
l
address. Only once the SDC is approved using both GUID and IP address can it be
used for mapping volumes.
You can set the restricted SDC mode using the VxFlex OS GUI, CLI, or REST API.
Note:
In a system that has been upgraded and already has volumes mapped to
SDCs, if you want to enable restricted SDC mode, you must first approve the
SDCs and only then enable restricted SDC mode.
