Discovering Management Groups; Entering Management Group Credentials; Setting Default Credentials In The Credentials Wizard; Using Vss Provider - HP StorageWorks P4000 User Manual

Discovering management groups

The Authentication Console automatically discovers management groups that are on the same subnet
as the client you are working on, which are displayed in the right pane.
If you have a management group on a different subnet, you can add it by adding new management
group credentials. See

Entering management group credentials

Before using the VSS Provider, you must configure credentials for the management group or groups
on the SAN. These credentials include the management group name, user name, and password.

Setting default credentials in the Credentials wizard

In the Credentials wizard, you can set default credentials for all management groups that use the
same user name and password.

Using VSS Provider

1. On the Default Credentials window, ensure that the Use Default Credentials Below check box is
selected.
2. Type in the user name, password, and confirm the password.
3. Click Next.
4. Clear the Allow VDS Control check box and then click Next.
The default credentials are saved and the Authentication Console opens with any management
groups it discovered on the subnet listed in the right pane.

Setting default credentials only

You can, at any time, choose to set default credentials, or change existing credentials in the
Authentication Console without using the Credentials wizard.
1. From the Action menu, click Set Default Credentials.
2. Type in the user name and password and confirm the password.
3. Click OK.
The default credentials are saved.

Setting credentials for a new management group

Add credentials for a new management group.
1. From the Action menu, click New Management Group Credentials.
2. Type in the new management group name and the user name and password.
3. Click OK.
The Authentication Console window opens with the new management group listed in the right
pane.
