Overland Storage REO 9000 with ProtectionPAC Software

Configuring Logon Information

Using the Logon Information section, you can change your logon name and password, which Overland Storage recommends that you do during the initial configuration process. If you choose to keep Administrator as your logon name, Overland Storage strongly recommends that you change the password to protect your network from unauthorized users.

1In the right pane, scroll down below the System Information section to locate the Logon Information section, and enter the following in case- sensitive format:

„User Name. (required) Enter a new logon name using up to 30 alphabetical or numerical characters or a combination of the two.

„Password. (optional) Enter a new password using up to 30 alphabetical or numerical characters or a combination of the two characters (do not use spaces or Ctrl-key characters).

„Retype Password. Enter the password again.

2Click Apply.

3Continue the configuration process by entering the e-mail information described in the next section.

Configuring E-mail Alerts

The REO Appliance continuously monitors its performance and routinely checks for disk failures. If you use the messaging option, an e-mail is sent whenever the Status of a volume on the REO Device Summary page becomes anything other than Up (for example, changes to

REBUILDING).

Tip: You can also use the ALARM MESSAGES section on the Physical Volume Management page to see more information. The messages (also known as asynchronous event notifications) that appear on this page display additional information about each disk that might not be displayed in an alert e-mail.

You can specify whether the REO Appliance should send an alert once or repeat the message until the issue is resolved. Each alert that is sent reports the status of all volumes on the REO Appliance. If you configure the option to use an Alert Frequency of five minutes or more, the alerts will be numbered.

If your mail server is able to send e-mail messages outside the company, you can also set up messaging to notify Overland Storage Technical Support automatically whenever a critical error occurs.
