Setting a Password
You can configure each storage array with a password to protect it from
unauthorized access. MDSM prompts for the password when an attempt is
made to change the storage array configuration, such as, when a virtual disk is
created or deleted. View operations do not change the storage array
configuration and do not require a password. You can create a new password
or change an existing password.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use a long password with at least 15
alphanumeric characters to increase security.
To set a new password or change an existing password:
1
Select the relevant storage array and navigate to the AMW for that storage
array. See "Array Management Window" on page63.
The AMW for the selected storage array is displayed.
2
In the AMW, perform one of these actions:
• Select the storage array in the

pane, and then select
