Changing or Setting a Storage Subsystem Password

Use the Change Password option to establish a new password or to change an existing password.

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 . However, the next time you launch the Enterprise Management Window, you will be prompted for a password the first time you attempt a destructive operation.


Attention:

Risk of data loss – Implementing destructive operations on a storage subsystem can cause serious damage, including data loss. Use a long password with at least 15 alphanumeric characters to increase security.

  1. From the Subsystem Management Window, select the storage subsystem, and select Storage Subsystem >> Change >> Password .
  2. Are you setting the password for the first time?
  3. Type the new password in the New password text box.
  4. Type the new password in the Confirm new password text box.


    Important:

    The password in the Confirm new password text box must match the password in the New password text box.

  5. Click OK.
