Setting a Password

You can configure each storage array with a password to protect it from

unauthorized access. MDSM prompts for the password when an attempt is

made to change the storage array configuration, such as, when a virtual disk is

created or deleted. View operations do not change the storage array

configuration and do not require a password. You can create a new password

or change an existing password.

NOTE:

It is recommended that you use a long password with at least 15

alphanumeric characters to increase security.

To set a new password or change an existing password:

1 Select the relevant storage array and navigate to the AMW for that storage

array. See "Array Management Window" on page 63.
The AMW for the selected storage array is displayed.

2 In the AMW, perform one of these actions:

• Select the storage array in the Logical pane, and then select Storage

ArraySet Password.
