Set A Storage Subsystem Password; Configure Host Access; Set Or Change Password - IBM DS3000 Introduction And Implementation Manual

Note: Ensure you make the right choice for the storage subsystem name at this time. Once
the host servers begin accessing logical drives, you should not change the subsystem
name, because some operating systems use the subsystem name for identification.

4.4.3 Set a storage subsystem password

We recommend implementing security and access control for DS3000 storage subsystem
management, DS3000 Storage Manager is freely available on the IBM Support Web site.
Without security in place, anyone with access to the management network could download
and install the Storage Manager and look for storage subsystems. An unauthorized user
could then connect to a certain subsystem and be able to perform destructive tasks, like
deleting logical drives and arrays.
To prevent this, you can set a password for the storage subsystem. If the password is
enabled, then it will be required for any potentially destructive tasks. Set the password as
shown in Figure 4-24.

4.4.4 Configure host access

Initial Setup Tasks
The
completion, we will also describe manual host access configuration in this section. The goal
of either of these two methods is to define a host server which will later be used for logical
drives assignment.

Automatic host access configuration is straightforward - move hosts discovered in the
