The management console must always be left operational. However, you might
consider the following actions when you leave the management console
unattended or when you must logoff your management console session.
1. In the main menu, click Console → Exit. At this point, you can choose to save
the state of the console for the next session by clicking the box next to the
option.
2. Click Exit Now.
3. When you exit from the management console session, if you are using a local
console, close the lid and slide the keyboard and display back into the rack.
You can also choose to logout. Logging out the user returns you to the login
prompt without shutting down. This is an appropriate action when you leave
the management console unattended.
You can change the password you use to log on to the management console. When
the password is changed, the predefined password can no longer be used.
Consider the following factors when you make a change to the management
console password:
v The new password must be at least seven characters and contain a numeric
character.
v The numeric character cannot be in the first or last position of the password.
v The new password nullifies the use of the predefined password. Thus, if you
forget your new password, you must contact your IBM service representative to
have the password reset.
v Passwords are case-sensitive.
v After entering your new password, ensure that you record it for your personal
retrieval.
1. Select Change HMC password. The change user password window is
displayed with three input fields.
2. Type your old (current) password into the first input field.
3. Type your new password into the New password and Confirm password input
fields.
4. Click OK and the system accepts the changed password. The next time you log
onto the management console you can use your new password.
You can access the DS Storage Manager using the Hardware Management Console
(HMC) located inside the DS8000 or the IBM System Storage Productivity Center
(SSPC). The locally installed Web browser on the HMC allows users access to the
DS8000 Storage Manager interface without using SSPC. When you use the HMC,
log on to the WebSM interface and from here you can access the DS Storage
Manager using the internet browser system. Use the following process to connect
to the DS Storage Manager using the HMC.
1. Log on to the WebSM interface at the management console.
2. Right click on the desktop until the Fluxbox - 0.9.4 is displayed.
3. Click the Net selection in the Fluxbox. Another box is displayed with the words
Net and Browser.
