Beginning to Use Your IP SAN Allowing Other Users To Log In To Your IP SAN By default, Adaptec Storage Manager includes only one user account, the Administrator (which allows full access to your IP SAN and all Adaptec Storage Manager features). After setup is complete, if you want to maintain security but allow other users limited or full access to your IP SAN, you can add them to Adaptec Storage Manager, assign them an access privilege level, and set passwords for them to use when logging in to the Management Service. Note You can log into the same Management Service from more than one GUI at the same time, even if you log in at different access privilege levels. For more information, see "Limiting User Access to Your IP SAN with the Security Manager" on page 80. Setting Up VSS/VDS Access If you are using a VSS requester or a third-party VDS provisioning tool in a system running Windows XP, Linux, or VMware, you must add that system to the Microsoft VDS/VSS host list in Adaptec Storage Manager. (Refer to your Microsoft VDS/VSS documentation for more information.) The Management Service must be installed somewhere on the same network (or subnet) as the VDS/VSS providers. The VDS/VSS providers can be installed on the same system as the Management Service, or on a separate system. Only systems on the VDS/VSS host list can complete jobs through the Management Service, such as creating volumes or snapshots. Note On iSCSI Storage Hosts, Adaptec Storage Manager automatically updates the VDS/VSS host list during installation. No manual intervention is required. 48 Snap Server 700i Series User's Guide
