and encryption. For information about configuring trap notifications, see Setting system notification settings. For information
about the MIB, see SNMP reference.
As a user with the manage role, you can modify or delete any user other than your current user. Users with the monitor role
can change all settings for their own user except for user type and role. However, users with the monitor role can only view
the settings for other users.
User options
The following options apply to standard and SNMPv3 users:
● User Name - A user name is case sensitive and can have a maximum of 29 bytes. It cannot already exist in the system or
include a space or the following characters: " , < \
● Password - A password is case sensitive and can have 8–32 characters. If the password contains only printable ASCII
characters, then it must contain at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one numeric character, and
one non-alphanumeric character. A password can include printable UTF-8 characters except for a space or the following
characters: " ' , < > \
● Confirm Password - Re-enter the new password.
● User Type - When creating a new user, select Standard to show options for a standard user, or SNMPv3 to show options
for an SNMPv3 user.
The following options apply only to a standard user:
● Roles - Select one or more of the following roles:
○
Monitor - Enables the user to view but not change system status and settings. This is enabled by default and cannot be
disabled.
○ Manage - Enables the user to change system settings.
● Interfaces - Select one or more of the following interfaces:
○ WBI - Enables access to the PowerVault Manager.
○ CLI - Enables access to the command-line interface.
○ SMI-S - Enables access to the SMI-S interface, which is used for remote management of the system through your
network.
○ FTP - Enables access to the FTP interface or the SFTP interface, which can be used instead of the PowerVault Manager
to install firmware updates and to download logs.
● Base Preference - Select the base size for the entry and display of storage space sizes:
○ Base 2 - Sizes are shown as powers of 2, using 1024 as a divisor for each magnitude (MiB, GiB, TiB).
○ Base 10 - Sizes are shown as powers of 10, using 1000 as a divisor for each magnitude (MB, GB, TB).
● Precision Preference - Select the number of decimal places, 1 through 10, for display of storage-space sizes.
● Unit Preference - Select one of the following options for display of storage-space sizes:
○ Auto - Enables the system to determine the proper unit for a size. Based on the precision setting, if the selected unit is
too large to meaningfully display a size, the system uses a smaller unit for that size. For example, if the unit is set to TB
and the precision is set to 1, the size 0.11709 TB is shown as 117.1 GB.
○ TB - Display all sizes in tebibytes or terabytes.
○ GB - Display all sizes in gibibytes or gigabytes.
○ MB - Display all sizes in mebibytes or megabytes.
● Temperature Preference - Select whether to use the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale for display of temperatures.
● Timeout - Select the amount of time that the user's session can be idle before the user is automatically signed out (2– 720
minutes).
● Locale - Select a display language for the user. Installed language sets include Chinese-Simplified, English, French, German,
Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. The locale determines the character used for the decimal (radix) point.
The following options apply only to an SNMPv3 user:
● SNMPv3 Account Type - Select one of the following types:
○ User Access - Enables the user to view the SNMP MIB.
○ Trap Target - Enables the user to receive SNMP trap notifications.
● SNMPv3 Authentication Type - Select whether to use MD5 or SHA (SHA-1) authentication, or no authentication. If
authentication is enabled, the password set in the Password and Confirm Password fields must include a minimum of 8
characters and follow the other SNMPv3 privacy password rules.
● SNMPv3 Privacy Type - Select whether to use DES or AES encryption, or no encryption. To use encryption you must also
set a privacy password and enable authentication.
● SNMPv3 Privacy Password - If the privacy type is set to use encryption, specify an encryption password. This password is
case sensitive and can have 8–32 characters. If the password contains only printable ASCII characters, then it must contain
42
