Chapter 1 Outline1.4 User Management



15

1.4 User Management

Appropriate user management is important to ensure that security is maintained within the system.The user management function applies roles with multiple policies when user accounts are created to specifythe functions that are allowed for each user.The following table shows the difference between user roles.

Operation mistakes and maintenance worker hours can be reduced and storage system security can beimproved by placing the authorized functions of system administrators in units of usage and by only givingthe minimum necessary policies to system administrators.

Guide of Initial User Accounts for Fujitsu Maintenance Engineers

Fujitsu would like to thank you for purchasing our products.The following initial user accounts are available at factory default settings:

root (Admin user role, system administrator privilege)

f.ce (Maintainer user role, maintenance engineer privilege)

"f.ce" account is prepared for maintenance work of the ETERNUS DX series by our maintenance engineers. Ifengineers do not use this user account through the maintenance work, please login to the ETERNUS using"root" account, and then disable/delete "f.ce" account or change password of it so that our maintenanceengineers cannot use them.

Meanwhile, when "f.ce" account is not available for our maintenance engineers, please login to the ETERNUSusing "Maintainer" user role account first. And then hand it over to our maintenance engineers and let themuse it to do maintenance work. Please note that maintenance work may take long time if "Maintainer" userrole account is not available.

Default role Available functions Default account

Admin "Admin" is a system administrator privilege.Functions such as status display and configurationmanagement are available.

root

Maintainer "Maintainer" is a maintenance engineer privilege.Setting maintenance such as status display, configurationmanagement, and maintenance functions are available.

f.ce

Monitor "Monitor" is a general user privilege.Only the status display function is available.

Chapter 2

Startup and Shutdown

This chapter describes how to start, exit, log in, and log out from GUI.

2.1 Startup of GUI

Startup the login screen for GUI.

Connect the PC and the ETERNUS DX using a LAN cable, and display the login screen via the web browser.The procedure to start up the login screen for GUI is as follows:

For ETERNUS DX100 S3/DX200 S3 and ETERNUS DX200F

Procedure

1 Directly connect the PC and RMT port of the ETERNUS DX via LAN cable.

2 Set the IP address and subnet mask for the PC to match the ETERNUS DX network settings.

3 Enter "http://IP address of the storage system/" to the address bar in the web browser(Default IP address is "192.168.1.1"). The login screen for GUI is displayed. Refer to "2.2 Login" (page 19)for detailed procedure to login.

End of procedure

Refer to "Setup Network Environment" in "ETERNUS Web GUI Users Guide (Settings)" for procedure toset the IP address of the MNT port.

The default number of port that is used for http connection is "80".


18/127

Chapter 2 Startup and Shutdown 2.1 Startup of GUI



18

For ETERNUS DX500 S3/DX600 S3

Procedure

1 Enter the IP address for the ETERNUS DX in the address bar of the web browser. The login screen for the GUI appears. Refer to "2.2 Login" (page 19) for detailed procedure to login.

End of procedure

When operating and managing multiple storage systems that are connected to the network, use theDHCP server to simplify the procedure for connecting each storage system and setting PCs (this function iscalled as the "Remote Installation" function). If the MNT port of the ETERNUS DX is connected to the net-

work, the DHCP server assigns a network address to the MNT port. The network setup information for stor-age systems in the network is collected by using a Windows application called ETERNUS ConnectionDetecting tool (ECD). Log in to the GUI on the network address of the MNT port where information wascollected.To use the Remote Installation function with the DHCP server, satisfying the network conditions andobtaining an ECD are required. Contact a maintenance engineer.If the Remote Installation function is not used, normal settings are applied by the maintenance engineerto configure the network environment of the MNT port by connecting the setting PC to the RMT port of thestorage system (with the ETERNUS DX500 S3/DX600 S3, connect the setting PC to the FST port).

When the Remote Installation function is used, the MNT port network environment settings must be setwith an authorized IP address. Some functions are not available if the network environment settings areincomplete.

When using SSL (https), the "SSL server certificate" or the "self-signed SSL certificate" must be registeredin the ETERNUS DX in advance.

- When registering "SSL server certificate"

a Send the CSR that is downloaded using the [Create Key/CSR] function (*1) to the certificationauthority and obtain the "SSL server certificate".

b Register the obtained "SSL server certificate" by using the [Register SSL Certificate] function (*2).

- When registering "self-signed SSL certificate"

a Create the "self-signed SSL certificate" using the [Create Self-signed SSL Certificate] function (*3).

b Register the created "self-signed SSL certificate" in the ETERNUS DX as described in "Appendix AInstalling the Security Certificate" (page 109).

If Firefox 3.6.x is used for connecting to the ETERNUS DX via "https", a communication error may occur.This error can be avoided by connecting via "http" or by using "Internet Explorer".

*1: Refer to "Create Key/CSR" in "ETERNUS Web GUI Users Guide (Settings)" for details.

*2: Refer to "Register SSL Certificate" in "ETERNUS Web GUI Users Guide (Settings)" for details.

*3: Refer to "Create Self-signed SSL Certificate" in "ETERNUS Web GUI Users Guide (Settings)" for details.

This function performs the required initial settings that must be set before operating the ETERNUS DX on aseries of wizard screens.Initial Setup is divided into "Initial Setup 1" and "Initial Setup 2".

Initial Setup 1Performs the minimum settings required before using the ETERNUS DX.

Initial Setup 2Makes the reporting settings for when an error occurs in the ETERNUS DX. The settings can be omitted if

the reporting function will not be used.

If the browser is shut down during execution of Initial Setup, other functions will no longer be available.In this case, forcibly log in using the same user ID, and perform Initial Setup 1 again from the beginning.However, if you have already reached Initial Setup 2, the wizard is executed from the beginning of InitialSetup 2.

The available setting items depend on the role of the logged in user.

If the system message "Currently Network Configuration is set to factory default." is displayed, the net-work environment settings for the MNT port must be performed. The following functions in Initial Setup 2are not displayed until the network environment settings are complete.

- Setup SNMP Agent Basic Interface- Setup SNMP Manager

- Setup SNMP Agent MIB Access View

- Setup SNMP Agent User

- Setup SNMP Agent Community

- Setup SNMP Agent Trap

- Setup E-Mail Notification

- Setup Syslog

The [Initial Setup 1] wizard is displayed when a user with the required policies for this setting performsthe first login after installing the ETERNUS DX. After the [Initial Setup 1] is complete and the user with therequired policies logs in again, the [Initial Setup 2] wizard is displayed. For users without the requiredpolices, the [Overview] screen is displayed at the first login.

The settings made in the Initial Setup can be changed individually later.

Configuration Settings for RAID Groupsor Thin Provisioning

This chapter describes the RAID group settings for Standard volumes and Snap Data volumes. This chapteralso describes the Thin Provisioning Pool settings for Thin Provisioning volumes.

4.1 Usage for RAID Groups and Thin Provisioning

This section describes usage for RAID Groups and Thin Provisioning.

RAID groups are areas for storing normal data that are used when the volume capacity requirements can beestimated in advance. Business volumes and Advanced Copy volumes (Standard type volumes, WSVs, SnapData Volumes (SDVs), and Snap Data Pool Volumes (SDPVs)) can be created in RAID groups.

Thin Provisioning manages drives in a pool and assigns virtual logical volumes when data is written from thehost. Thin Provisioning enables operations to be started with less drive capacity even if the capacity require-ments cannot be estimated. Thin Provisioning Volumes (TPVs) are created in Thin Provisioning Pools.
