Disabling The Kick-Start Utility - Dell PowerVault 750N System Administrator Manual

Do not save more than one ordered set of configuration files on a single diskette, which
creates more than one file with the same three-digit number. Kick-Start uses these
three-digit numbers exclusively to decide which configuration to apply next. Thus, putting
multiple configuration sets on a single diskette prevents you from knowing which
configuration you are applying.
For example, if the Aaaa#001.nas and Bbbb#001.nas files are both stored on the same
configuration diskette, there is no guarantee that Aaaa#001.nas will be applied first (even
though it is alphabetically first).

Disabling the Kick-Start Utility

If you do not use Kick-Start to configure your system, you must disable Kick-Start
immediately. If Kick-Start is enabled, the system logs in automatically as administrator,
which creates a security risk. Kick-Start also takes up system resources by constantly
checking for configuration information.
To disable Kick-Start, perform the following steps:
From the NAS Manager primary menu, click Maintenance.
1
Click Terminal Services.
2
Log onto the system as an administrator.
3
Click the X on the top, right-hand corner of the Kick-Start window.
4
A Warning window displays that asks whether you want the Dell OpenManage
Kick-Start configuration tool to run automatically each time the machine starts.
Click No. If you click Yes, Kick-Start closes; however, it will run again the next time
5
the system is rebooted.
