Basic IPSAN Security Recommendations

When setting up your IPSAN, consider these security
recommendations:
Always log out of Adaptec Storage Manager when you are
■
finished using it.
Don't allow account sharing.
■
Keep the Manager Level password confidential.
■
Use account names that easily relate to your IPSAN users, to
■
help you monitor who is doing what.
Ensure that passwords are not the same as user names.
■
Don't use the word password as a password.
■

Understanding Access Levels

To ensure system security, every user on Adaptec Storage Manager
is assigned an access password and one of three access levels:
Manager level—This is the highest level of access. Manager-
■
level users can monitor the IPSAN and make configuration
changes to the IPSAN (like creating volumes and mirrors).
A manager-level user can also create user accounts, and assign
passwords and access levels.
Administrator level—This level of access has the same
■
privileges as the manager level, except that administrator-level
users can not create user accounts.
Operator level—This is the lowest level of access. Operator-level
■
users can monitor the IPSAN but cannot make configuration
changes.
See Creating User Accounts and Assigning Passwords on page 5-3
