Setting a Password
You can configure each storage array with a password to protect it from
unauthorized access. MD Storage Manager asks for this 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 require a password.
To set, change, or remove a password for a storage array:
1 Click the Tools tab, then click Set or Change Password.
Text boxes for the current password, the new password, and new password
confirmation are displayed.
2 To enter a new password:
• Leave the Current password text box blank.
• Enter the new password in the New password and Confirm new
password text boxes.
To change a password:
• Enter the current password in the Current password text box.
• Enter the new password in the New password and Confirm new
password text boxes.
