Region

Join a Region – Allows a storage server to become part of a specified region. Refer to Joining a Region.

Leave the Region – Removes a storage server from the current region in order to join a different region or remove it from the SAN. Removing the node will result in the node losing the configuration of the current region. Refer to Leaving the Region.

Add a Node to the Region – Allows the local storage server to add another storage server to the same region that it belongs to.  Refer to Adding a Storage Server to the Region.

Set Online/Set Offline – Allows you to set a storage server offline and bring it back online. A storage server that is set offline will not be able to communicate with other storage servers in the region. You may want to do this if you are performing maintenance activities.

Remove from the Region – Permanently removes a remote storage server from the region. This option is only available if a storage server is selected. Before removing the storage server, remove all references to it within the SAN from mappings to pools. Refer to Removing a Storage Server from the Region.

Resynchronize with the Region – A storage server may need to be synchronized with the rest of the region when it is not receiving configuration updates, such as after a network failure which isolated a particular computer (see the Event Viewer or Alarms Tool).
