Launching Volume Security

This section describes how to start the Volume Security software.

If Volume Security Port Option is installed, the functions of the Volume Security Port Option program will become usable when you start Volume Security.

To start the Volume Security software:

1.Log on to the Remote Web Console main window. For details, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User’s Guide.

To make security settings and apply the settings, you must use a user account that has the write permission (For example, the Administrator account). If you use a user account that does not have the write permission, you will be able to view security settings but will neither be able to make security settings nor apply security settings.

2.Click Go, Mainframe Connection, and then Volume Security on the menu bar of the Remote Web Console main window.

The Volume Security window appears (see Figure 4).

To set security using Volume Security, you must make sure that Remote Web Console is in Modify mode. For detailed information on how to do this, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User’s Guide.
