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 61. 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 Array Set 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 appears. 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. 6 Click OK. NOTE: You are not prompted for a password when you attempt to change the storage array configuration in the current management session. Configuration: About Your Storage Array 69
