Managing User Accounts

The management software and the Sun Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software installed on the management host share the following two user accounts and default passwords.

Role Name
Default Password
Description of Role
storage
!storage
Can view and modify all attributes.
guest
!guest
Can view all attributes but not modify any of them.

These accounts specify the degree of user access to the array and its attributes. All users can view information. To modify array attributes, you must be logged in as storage or be a user with storage privileges. You can use more than one storage or guest account at a time. As storage or as a user, you can also add users that have either the guest or storage account role.

If multiple users are logged in to the array and making changes as the storage administrator, there is a risk of one user's changes overwriting another user's previous changes. Therefore, storage administrators should develop procedures about who can make changes and when and about how to notify others.
