HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console Software - Manual (Page 13)

Overview of Configuration File Loader Operations
Configuration File Loader is used to make large-scale or batch changes to the configuration of
certain program product options, using either a text editor or spreadsheet software to edit
configuration definition files (spreadsheet files) and apply the changes to the storage system. You
can apply the same spreadsheet file to different storage systems, and you can define the
configuration in the spreadsheet when you are offline.
The process of applying a spreadsheet to the storage system differs depending on the program
products.
Table 3 (page 13) shows program products supporting a spreadsheet and how to apply
a spreadsheet.

each program product.
Overview of SSL-Encrypted Communications
In order to improve security of remote operations from a Remote Web Console to a storage system,
you can set up SSL-encrypted communication. With SSL-encrypted communication, the user ID and
password required for logging in to the Remote Web Console are encrypted, and you can
communicate with a higher level of security.
For detailed information on the SSL-encrypted communication, contact your HP service representative.
You need to change the SVP (web server) to Apache, which supports SSL, in order to perform
SSL-encrypted communication. Your HP service representative will change the SVP to the
SSL-supported Apache.
Encryption Function Enhancement (Solution to the Year 2010 Encryption
Problem)
Remote Web Console and other SSL encrypted communication includes encryption processing
functionality.
The encryption functions are prepared for the year 2010 problem of encryption. This setting is
called Advanced Security Mode. If this setting is performed, the cryptographic algorithm changes
in some of the functions, but the Remote Web Console functions and operation methods are not
changed.
If you want to set the Advanced Security Mode, contact HP. See “HP Technical Support” (page 138) .
If you set the Advanced Security Mode and use Remote Web Console, please note the following:
•
When you enable the Advanced Security Mode, it might not be possible to connect to the SVP
from the P9000 or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or some browsers for the
version that is not prepared for the year 2010 encryption problem.
•
Confirm that all the devices that will be connected to the SVP are for the versions prepared
for the year 2010 encryption problem before enabling the Advanced Security Mode.
•
If you enable the Advanced Security Mode, the user account is initialized where only root is
registered. It is necessary to recreate a user account.
