Storage Array Support Data

Aggregated support data can be generated for a storage array to aid in remote

troubleshooting and issue analysis. To generate the support data report:

1 Click the Support tab, then click Gather Support Information.
2 Click Browse to display the Collect All Support Data dialog box.
3 In the Save in drop-down box, navigate to the location where you want the

report saved.

A compressed (zip) file containing support data is saved to the location of

your choice.

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.
