○ Monitor. Enables the user to view but not change system status and settings. This is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
○ Manage. Enables the user to change system settings.
• Interfaces. Select one or more of the following interfaces:
○ WBI. Enables access to the PowerVault Manager.
○ CLI. Enables access to the command-line interface.
○ SMI-S. Enables access to the SMI-S interface, which is used for remote management of the system through your network.
○ FTP. Enables access to the FTP interface or the SFTP interface, which can be used instead of the PowerVault Manager to install
firmware updates and to download logs.
• Base Preference. Select the base for entry and display of storage-space sizes:
○ Base 2. Sizes are shown as powers of 2, using 1024 as a divisor for each magnitude.
○ Base 10. Sizes are shown as powers of 10, using 1000 as a divisor for each magnitude.
• Precision Preference. Select the number of decimal places, 1 through 10, for display of storage-space sizes.
• Unit Preference. Select one of the following options for display of storage-space sizes:
○ Auto. Enables the system to determine the proper unit for a size. Based on the precision setting, if the selected unit is too large to
meaningfully display a size, the system uses a smaller unit for that size. For example, if the unit is set to TB and the precision is set
to 1, the size 0.11709 TB is shown as 117.1 GB.
○ TB. Display all sizes in terabytes.
○ GB. Display all sizes in gigabytes.
○ MB. Display all sizes in megabytes.
• Temperature Preference. Select whether to use the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale for display of temperatures.
• Timeout. Select the amount of time that the user's session can be idle before the user is automatically signed out (2– 720 minutes).
• Locale. Select a display language for the user. Installed language sets include Chinese-Simplified, English, French, German, Japanese,
Korean, and Spanish. The locale determines the character used for the decimal (radix) point.
The following options apply only to an SNMPv3 user:
• SNMPv3 Account Type. Select one of the following types:
○ User Access. Enables the user to view the SNMP MIB.
○ Trap Target. Enables the user to receive SNMP trap notifications.
• SNMPv3 Authentication Type. Select whether to use MD5 or SHA (SHA-1) authentication, or no authentication. If authentication is
enabled, the password set in the Password and Confirm Password fields must include a minimum of 8 characters and follow the other
SNMPv3 privacy password rules.
• SNMPv3 Privacy Type. Select whether to use DES or AES encryption, or no encryption. To use encryption you must also set a privacy
password and enable authentication.
• SNMPv3 Privacy Password. If the privacy type is set to use encryption, specify an encryption password. This password is case
sensitive and can have 8–32 characters. If the password contains only printable ASCII characters, then it must contain at least one
uppercase character, one lowercase character, and one non-alphabetic character. A password can include printable UTF-8 characters
except for the following: a space or " , < > \
• Trap Host Address. If the account type is Trap Target, specify the network address of the host system that will receive SNMP traps.
The value can be an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or FQDN.
