4-5 Starting Device Manager Operations
After you have installed Device Manager, prepared for Device Manager operations, and logged in to the Device
Manager server, you are ready to start Device Manager operations. This section provides an overview of the
tasks required to set up and start using Device Manager.
To set up your Device Manager environment efficiently, perform the following procedure in the indicated
sequence.
To start Device Manager operations:
1. Log in to Device Manager as a system administrator (see section 5-1 ). The system administrator should
log in first to set up the users and access privileges.
2. Create the required System user and assign access privileges (see section 6-2 ).
NOTE: To prevent unauthorized access, make sure that you change the default System
Administrator's password, or add at least one System Administrator and then delete the default System
Administrator.
NOTE: To create a Local user, a user-defined user group is required. To create a user group, you
must first create a logical group with which the user group is associated.
3. Create the logical group hierarchy (see section 7-3 ).
By associating the logical group with a user-defined user group, you can set up an environment that
allows only specific users to access specific resources.
NOTE: Instead of creating a new logical group from scratch, you can execute LUN Scan to create a
logical group and reconfigure the logical group hierarchy as needed (such as creating or deleting a
logical group or changing the level or parent of a logical group).
Example of how to use logical groups:
For copy pair operations, you should consider creating a logical group for LUs that are reserved or pooled
for copy operations. You could then create a storage group for each storage subsystem within the top-
level logical group for copy volumes.
