Use the Storage Subsystem >> Change Password option to establish a new storage subsystem password or to change an existing one.
Caution: Implementing destructive commands on a storage subsystem can cause serious damage, including data loss. Use a long password with at least 15 alphanumeric characters to increase security.
Procedure |

1 |
From the Subsystem Management Window, either select the Storage Subsystem >> Change Password pull-down menu option or use the right mouse button to select the storage subsystem in the Logical View and select Change Password from the pop-up menu. Result: The Change Password dialog is displayed. Note: If you are setting the password for the first time, skip to step 3. |

Enter the current password in the Current password: text box. Then, press the Tab key to move to the New password: text box. |
3 |
Type the new password in the New password: text box. Then, press the Tab key on your keyboard to move to the Confirm password: text box. |
4 |
Type the new password in the Confirm password: text box. Important: The password in the Confirm password: text box must match the password in the New password: text box. |
5 |
Select OK or press Enter to change the storage subsystem password. Result: The Password Successfully Changed confirmation dialog is displayed. |
6 |
Select OK to close the Password Successfully Changed dialog. Note: While you are in the current management session, you will not be asked for a password when you attempt a destructive operation because you have just set the password from this storage management station. However, the next time you launch the Subsystem Management Window, you will be prompted for a password the first time you attempt a destructive operation. |
Error Conditions
Current Password Not Accepted |
The password you typed in the Current password: text box did not match the storage subsystem password exactly. For example, there could be case inconsistencies or misspellings. Retry the operation using the correct current password. |
New and Confirm Password Mismatch |
The passwords entered in the New password: text box and the Confirm password: text box did not match. Retry the operation and type the same password in both text boxes. |
