6.10 Assign Eco-mode Schedule (Thin Provisioning Pool)
This function assigns the Eco-mode schedule to the Thin Provisioning Pools (TPPs) and sets the Eco-mode
action.
Eco-mode is a function to reduce power consumption by stopping the drive motors or turning off the drives
that configure the TPP while the TPP is not accessed from the host. There are three Eco-mode actions; "Drive
motor off", "Drive power off", and "Drive always on".
To enable the Eco-mode, assign the Eco-mode schedule to TPP and select "Drive motor off" or "Drive power off"
as the Eco-mode action. When Eco-mode is enabled, the drives are activated during the scheduled event
period. In the time periods outside the scheduled event, the drive status is changed according to the specified
Eco-mode actions. Refer to "Drive status when Eco-mode action is configured (for TPP)" (page 584)
for details.
If the TPP is accessed from the host while the drives are turned off or the drive motors are stopped, the drives
are activated and can be accessed within 1 - 5 minutes.
