This appendix provides the information you need to create users in Windows and assign them to groups for privileges. The created users can sign into the Java Web Console to access the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software.
This appendix contains the following section:
The Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software needs a user with Windows administrative privileges to be available for the initial installation.
These instructions show you an example of how to configure a administrative user in standard Windows XP. Other versions of Windows software may vary slightly. Consult the Windows documentation.
This example sets up a root user with Windows administrator privileges. Normally root Is a role associated with Unix. By using the root user concept with Windows you can have a common storage administrator's role across platforms.
1. Click Start and select Administrative Tools -> Computer Management.
The Computer Management window displays.
2. In the Computer Management window, select Local Users and Groups -> Users.
3. Right click and select New User.
4. Complete the New User window as follows:
a. Enter root in the User name box.
b. Create a password and confirm it.
c. Uncheck the box labeled User must change password at next login.
d. Check Password never expires.
The Computer Management window displays.
f. Select Users, right click on root, and select Properties.
The Root Properties window displays.
The Select Groups window displays.
7. In the Enter the object names box, type Administrators and click Check Names.
The system displays the computer-name\Administrator group in the box labeled "Enter the object names to select".
The root Properties window shows that root is a member of the Users and Administrators groups. The root user now has Windows Administrator privileges.
You will need a storage user and other users in Windows. To set up subsequent users, follow the same steps as Adding a Administrator User, but substitute a user name for root and storage for the Administrator role.
Note - Do not create Windows administrator users with space characters in the user name. Space characters in Windows admin user names can cause system errors later on. |
When done, check the user Properties window and Member of tab to verify that the user is assigned to the Users and storage groups.
