Changing the RAID Manager user (Windows systems)

Usually, RAID Manager commands can be executed only by the system administrator in order to
directly open the PhysicalDrive.
When an administrator of RAID Manager does not have an "administrator" privilege or there is
a difference between the system administrator and the RAID Manager administrator, the RAID
Manager administrator can use RAID Manager commands as follows:
System administrator tasks
1. Add a user name to the PhysicalDrive.
2. Add the user name of the RAID Manager administrator to the Device Objects of the command
device for HORCM_CMD in the configuration definition file. For example:
C:\HORCM\tool\>chgacl /A:RMadmin Phys
PhysicalDrive0 -> \Device\Harddisk0\DR0
\\.\PhysicalDrive0 : changed to allow
3. Add a user name to the Volume{GUID}.
4. If the RAID Manager administrator needs to use the "-x mount/umount" option for RAID
Manager commands, the system administrator must add the user name of the RAID Manager
administrator to the Device Objects of the Volume{GUID}. For example:
C:\HORCM\tool\>chgacl /A:RMadmin Volume
Volume{b0736c01-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} -> \Device\CdRom0
\\.\Volume{b0736c01-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} : changed to allow
Volume{b0736c02-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} -> \Device\Floppy0
\\.\Volume{b0736c02-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} : changed to allow
Volume{b0736c00-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} -> \Device\HarddiskVolume1
\\.\Volume{b0736c00-9b14-11d8-b1b6-806d6172696f} : changed to allow
5. Add a user name to the ScsiX.
6. If the RAID Manager administrator needs to use the "-x portscan" option for RAID Manager
commands, the system administrator must add the user name of the RAID Manager administrator
to the Device Objects of the ScsiX. For example:
C:\HORCM\tool\>chgacl /A:RMadmin Scsi
Scsi0: -> \Device\Ide\IdePort0
\\.\Scsi0: : changed to allow
Scsi1: -> \Device\Ide\IdePort1
\\.\Scsi1: : changed to allow
