If no password was set previously, no current password is required to establish a new password.
The password is stored on the . Each storage array that you want to be password protected will need a password.
You cannot change a storage array password unless you have first supplied the current password. If you have forgotten the password, contact Customer and Technical Support.
Executing destructive commands on a storage array can cause serious damage, including data loss. A specified password protects any options that the deems destructive. (These options include any functions that change the state of the storage array, such as creation of , modification of cache settings, and so on.) Without password protection,
all options are available within this storage management software.
Note: If you remove all physical disks from a storage array, the password used on that storage array will not work because the password is stored on a reserved area of each physical disk on the storage array. Add one of the original physical disks from the storage array to correct the condition.
Password Considerations
The maximum password length is 30 characters.
Passwords are case sensitive. Remember how you use uppercase and lowercase letters when you change a password.
Trailing white spaces are not stripped from passwords. Be careful not to include trailing spaces in the new password, because they can be difficult to enter accurately in the future.
Only asterisks are displayed when you type a password.
Removing Password Protection
If you no longer want to have the destructive operations password-protected, enter the current password,
and leave the New password and Confirm password text boxes blank.
