HP Surestore Disk Array 12h System Administrator's Guide for HP-UX, MPE, and W - Page 213

Managing the HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H on Windows NT Installing AutoRAID Manager Software CAUTION! Firmware version HP54 is required for proper operation on Windows NT. Using another version of firmware could result in improper system operation. The README file contains information regarding current firmware for the disk array. When you have performed all the tasks required to complete setup, continue with "Setting Up AutoRAID Manager for Windows". Controlling Access to the Disk Arrays CAUTION! Access to AutoRAID Manager should be restricted to those involved in managing network resources. AutoRAID Manager provides capabilities that, if used improperly, could destroy data or disrupt access to the disk array. For this reason, it is recommended that you restrict user access to AutoRAID Manager. When sharing the AutoRAID Manager Administration folder, make sure you restrict access to the folder. The default permissions when sharing a folder give everyone access, so you will need to change the permissions to restrict access to the desired users only. The AutoRAID Administrator folder must be shared to allow remote clients to use AutoRAID Manager to manage the disk array. Disk array management is controlled by the permissions applied to the AutoRAID Administrator folder, which is located by default at Program Files/AutoRAID/ARMadmin. If you selected another location for the Administration folder during setup, the specified folder will control access to the disk array. Standard Windows NT security procedures are used to define the permissions for the Administrator folder. Any user account with read/write access to the Administrator folder will be able to view and manage the disk array. The folder will inherit the share access rights currently defined for the system. If the default permissions are not suitable, add or remove users from the access list as necessary to impose the desired security on the folder. Also make sure the NTFS file permissions are also set properly to control access. HP-UX Server Access If you will be using AutoRAID Manager to manage a disk array connected to an HP-UX server, you must configure the HP-UX server as follows to allow access to the array: 1. Verify that the NT userid is valid on the HP-UX server and that the userid is a member of the adm group. 2. If you're not using the root userid, add group write access to the /var/opt/hparray/admin sub-directory. 3. Add host and userid to the /etc/hosts.equiv file. NOTE! To administer a disk array connected to an HP-UX server from an AutoRAID Manager client, the necessary patches must be installed on the HP-UX server.
