The Server details window shows all the details about the server and a list of volumes, if any, attached to the server.
This window also shows path details for every volume attached to the server, including the storage ports and server WWNs used to create HSDs and the host mode options set up on the HSD.
You can perform server actions such as removing the server, editing the server or provisioning volumes to server by attaching existing volumes or creating and attaching new volumes.
You can perform volume procedures such protecting or detaching volumes.

- Status of the corresponding replication in Ops Center Protector is OK.
- To unprotect a volume, select it, then click Unprotect.
- Click Unprotect Volumes to remove data protection applied to volumes. Note: Ops Center Administrator can unprotect volumes with high availability in the replication group with following conditions:
