This section describes ODX management.
ODX management provides the following functions:
• Enable ODX
• Disable ODX
• Create ODX Buffer Volume
7.9.1 Enable ODX
This function enables the ODX function.
This function supports ODX, which is provided for servers with "Windows Server 2012". ODX is a function that
offloads the load on data copying and migration to the storage system.
For the factory default settings for this function, refer to "Appendix B ODX" (page 1012)
.
The procedure to enable the ODX function is as follows:
Procedure
1 Click [Enable ODX] in [Action].
 A confirmation screen appears.
2 Click the [OK] button.
 Enabling of ODX starts.
• To start using the ODX function, the server must recognize that ODX is enabled in the ETERNUS DX. After
enabling ODX with this function, reboot the server.
• ODX requires dedicated volumes (ODX Buffer volumes) to save data before updating. ODX Buffer volumes
can be created after ODX is enabled. Refer to "7.9.3 Create ODX Buffer Volume" (page 662)
for details.
• The ETERNUS DX does not support an Advanced Copy when the copy destination is a volume that is being
used by the ODX function.
• The ODX function only supports copying within the same ETERNUS DX. Copying to other storage systems
is not supported.
ODX does not require the registration of an Advanced Copy license and copy table size settings.
