NOTE: Before modifying your configuration, save a copy of your current configuration to a file (see "Saving a Configuration to a File" on page 47). If you have problems with your modifications, you can use the information in the file to restore your previous configuration. Setting the Storage Array Password The set storageArray command enables you to define a password for a storage array. The following syntax is the general form of the command: set storageArray password="password" The password parameter defines a password for the storage array. Passwords provide added security to a storage array to reduce the possibility of implementing destructive commands. CAUTION: Implementing destructive commands can cause serious damage, including data loss. NOTE: CLI commands do not have interactive warnings for destructive commands. Unless you define a password for the storage array, anyone can run all of the script commands. A password protects the storage array from any command that the RAID controller modules consider destructive. A destructive command is any command that can change the state of the storage array, such as virtual disk creation, reset, delete, rename, or change. If you have more than one storage array in a storage configuration, each array has a separate password. Passwords can have a maximum length of 30 characters. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the password. The following example shows how to use the set storageArray command to define a password: client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "set storageArray password=\"1a2b3c4d5e"\;" Setting Up SMTP and SNMP Alerts The storage array can be set up to send automatic e-mail alert messages to specified email addresses when specific events occur. View the current alert configuration settings using the following command: SMcli -d -i -s -w -v -S By default, all alert configuration settings are None. The following example shows how to set the mail server IP and the sender address configurations for SMTP alerts: 56 Configuring a Storage Array
