Generating The Encryption-Based Ciphertext From The Sp 5.X Tui; Storage System Accounts For Service And Upgrade - HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage Service And Upgrade Manual

Generating the encryption-based ciphertext from the SP 5.x TUI

Procedure
1. Connect and log in to the HPE 3PAR Service Processor (SP) 5.x.
2. From the HPE 3PAR Text-Based User Interface (TUI) main menu, enter 5 for 5 == Secure Password
Management.
The current mode is
displayed as:
Current password mode:
ENCRYPT
3. Enter either 2 for 2 == Display password blob for root or enter 3 for 3 == Display password blob
for hpesupport.
The ciphertext (blob) is displayed.
4. Copy the entire ciphertext and paste it into an email to Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support or to the
approved service provider. The ciphertext is safe to email, because the random credential contained in
the ciphertext is first encrypted and then wrapped using a public key. Only Hewlett Packard Enterprise
can unwrap the encrypted credential using the corresponding private key.
When copying the ciphertext,
copy the text starting with:
- - - Begin tpd blob
- - -
and all the text ending with:
- - - End tpd blob -
- -

Storage system accounts for service and upgrade

For access to the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage system interfaces, there are the following account
options for the administrator or for HPE Support personnel and authorized service providers. Based on
the account, there are differences in the access it provides to the storage system interfaces, the type of
password options, and the permissions associated with the account.
