Passwords
IMPORTANT: When an HP P6000 EVA storage system with array-based management is first
installed, HP P6000 Control Panel and storage system passwords are blank. For security purposes,
HP recommends that you immediately create passwords.
Storage system password
The storage system password is the password that other HP P6000 management software, such
as a server-based instance of HP P6000 Command View, must send to be granted storage
administrator access to an HP P6000 array-based storage system. In the HP P6000 Control Panel
this password is also called a management server password.
Storage system password requirements:
•
Must be 8-16 characters
•
Can include the letters A to Z, in upper or lower case
•
Can include the numbers 0 to 9
•
Can include the special characters: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ] ^ _ ‘ { | }
•
Cannot include the special characters: ~ \
•
Cannot include spaces
Control Panel passwords
The Administrator password is the password that must be entered when logging in to the HP P6000
Control Panel as a storage administrator. Storage administrators can view information, change
settings and perform actions.
The User password is the password that must be entered when logging in to the HP P6000 Control
Panel as a user. Users can only view information and change the user login password.
IMPORTANT: If you change the password for the HP P6000 Control Panel administrator or user
accounts, be sure to record the new passwords since they cannot be cleared without resetting the
management module.
Private and public networks
Because HP P6000 EVA storage systems with array-based management are connected to your
local area network, it is important that you configure the connection properly to ensure that your
HP P6000 system is secure. HP recommends that you connect to a private network, or configure
it behind a firewall or proxy server.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) reserves the following IP address ranges for
private internets:
