5 Click Yes.

The new storage array name is displayed in the

Select storage array table.

6 Repeat step 2 through step 4 to name or rename additional storage arrays.

NOTE:

Avoid arbitrary names or names that may lose meaning in the future.

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.

• Select the

Setup tab, and then click Set a Storage Array Password.

• In the AMW, select the

Logical tab, right-click and select Set

Password.

The Set Password dialog is displayed.

3 If you are resetting the password, type the Current password.

NOTE:

If you are setting the password for the first time, leave the Current

password blank.

4 Type the New password.
5 Re-type the new password in Confirm new password.

NOTE:

The password in Confirm new password and New password must be

exactly the same.
