The maintenance mode option can be used when you need to reconfigure hardware (for example, adding or replacing enclosures attached to a host) or to replace components in the enclosure (for example, replacing a disk).
Before performing a reconfiguration, you should set the maintenance mode check box, which in turn disables all polling. This avoids all polling during reconfiguration.
Caution: Failure to set the maintenance mode option could cause device reconfiguration to fail and potentially cause excessive alarms.
After the maintenance work has been completed, you can return Component Manager to its normal operating mode by clearing the maintenance mode check box. This will allow Component Manager to rediscover all the enclosures attached to the host and to restart polling.
