Setting a password for your protects it from users who unknowingly or maliciously run destructive commands. These commands include any functions that change the state of the storage subsystem, such as creating and modifying the cache settings.
Attention:
Possible loss of data – Running destructive commands on a storage subsystem can cause serious damage, including data loss. For this reason, you should always set a password for a storage subsystem.You cannot change a password for a storage subsystem unless you first supply the current password. If you have forgotten the password, contact a representative. If a password was not set previously, a current password is not required to establish a new password.
Each storage subsystem that you want to be password-protected requires a password. The password is stored on the storage subsystem. If you remove all disk drives from a storage subsystem, the password used on that storage subsystem will not work because the password is stored on a reserved area of each disk drive on the storage subsystem. To correct this condition, add one of the original disk drives to the storage subsystem.
Keep these guidelines in mind when you create a password:
If you no longer want to have the destructive commands password-protected, enter the current password, and leave the New password text box and the Confirm password text box blank.
