7. Save any changes using the following command:
Note: For Windows, the SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) setting on the Windows server must
match the SSC setting on the Memory Array. Use the [no] pcie ssc enable command. See
the Violin Array Controller Driver for Windows Installation Guide for more information. This guide is
available from the Violin Memory Customer Support site.
Verifying ACM PCIe Settings
1. If the Memory Array is used in a direct-attached configuration and has PCIe connections to an
external host, disconnect the PCIe cables before continuing.
2. Log in to the Master ACM and then run the following commands to verify the system is running
in mg mode, and that the vRAID Controller Module (VCM) links to the internal Memory
Gateways are in an optimal state.
<direct-attach>
Specifies the default mode, which is four PCIe direct connections
with 2 on each ACM.
<mg>
Basic configuration for 4VCMs off MG link ports, with external
access through HBA.
