  3. Change the settings as needed, and either click Apply to save them, or click Cancel to close the window without saving the changes.

  • Storage systems are not registered in the Storage Device List.
  • If storage systems are registered in the Storage Device List, before changing the SVP clock settings, click Stop Service for all registered storage systems in the Storage Device List window.

Procedure
