Setting Passwords and Security Options (Network Only)
Password security prevents unauthorized users from changing or removing
storage configurations. In SWCC, the following operations require a password:
■ Changing controller configuration
■ Changing virtual disk configuration
■ Changing device settings
Security Options
The two security options, View Only and Make Changes, are available from the
Storage Window Options menu.
Password Security
You create a password when you install the HS-Series Agent on a system. The
password is encrypted and stored in the file where the Command Console Agent
resides. To set or change a password, use the Agent Configuration menu.
Command Console allows a user with a valid password to make configuration
changes for one hour. If an hour elapses without user input, the Command
Console resets itself to View only. Any configuration change resets the timer and
keeps the current password active for one hour.
