Setting a password for HP EVA storage systems

P6550 EVA storage systems.
1.
On the Management Module Properties page, click Launch OCP.
The HP P6000 Control Panel GUI opens.
2. Log on to the HP P6000 Control Panel.
3. In the HP P6000 Control Panel, select Configure Administrator login options.

The password for an HP EVA4400, P6300 EVA, P6350 EVA, P6500 EVA, or P6550 EVA affects
access by external applications such as server-based HP P6000 Command View. It does not affect
access by the instance of array-based HP P6000 Command View that is internally installed on the
storage system.
Reestablishing communication with a password-protected storage system
A communication problem between an instance of server-based HP P6000 Command View and
a password-protected storage system can be caused when the stored password in HP P6000
Command View does not match the password that is set on a storage system. This can occur when:
•
The password on a storage system has been changed.
•
Controller software on a storage system has been updated to a newer version.
If you believe that a password mismatch is causing a communication problem with a storage
system, proceed as follows to synchronize the passwords.
1. In HP P6000 Command View, clear the stored password for the effected storage system. See
“Disabling management of a password-protected storage system” (page 17) .
2. On the affected storage system, clear the password using the operator control panel (OCP).
See the user guide for your storage system.
3. On the management server, stop and then restart the HP P6000 Command View service.
