Overland Storage REO 9000 with ProtectionPAC Software
Configuring Logon Information
Using the Logon Information section, you can change your logon name
and password, which Overland Storage recommends that you do during
the initial configuration process. If you choose to keep Administrator as
your logon name, Overland Storage strongly recommends that you
change the password to protect your network from unauthorized users.
1 In the right pane, scroll down below the System Information section to
locate the Logon Information section, and enter the following in case-
sensitive format:
„ User Name. (required) Enter a new logon name using up to 30
alphabetical or numerical characters or a combination of the two.
„ Password. (optional) Enter a new password using up to 30
alphabetical or numerical characters or a combination of the two
characters (do not use spaces or Ctrl-key characters).
„ Retype Password. Enter the password again.
2 Click Apply.
3 Continue the configuration process by entering the e-mail information
described in the next section.
Configuring E-mail Alerts
The REO Appliance continuously monitors its performance and routinely
checks for disk failures. If you use the messaging option, an e-mail is sent
whenever the Status of a volume on the REO Device Summary page
becomes anything other than Up (for example, changes to
REBUILDING).
Tip: You can also use the ALARM MESSAGES section on the Physical
Volume Management page to see more information. The messages
(also known as asynchronous event notifications) that appear on this
page display additional information about each disk that might not be
displayed in an alert e-mail.
You can specify whether the REO Appliance should send an alert once or
repeat the message until the issue is resolved. Each alert that is sent
reports the status of all volumes on the REO Appliance. If you configure
the option to use an Alert Frequency of five minutes or more, the alerts
will be numbered.
If your mail server is able to send e-mail messages outside the company,
you can also set up messaging to notify Overland Storage Technical
Support automatically whenever a critical error occurs.
