appropriate Authentication Configuration installation window appears.
P9000 Performance Advisor Native Authentication
By default, P9000 Performance Advisor uses P9000 Performance Advisor Native Authentication to
authenticate and authorize all users. If P9000 Performance Advisor verifies that the management
station is not in a domain or if you select P9000 Performance Advisor Native Authentication, and
click Next, you are taken to the Choose Setup Type installation window, where you either select the
complete or the custom installation method. For more information, see Selecting complete or custom
installation method.
After installing P9000 Performance Advisor for the above-mentioned authentication type, login as an
administrator, create user accounts, and grant them privileges (administrator or user privileges) to
perform various tasks in P9000 Performance Advisor. You can also login as a storageadmin, who
is an administrator user of CV XP and has the same privileges as that of the administrator user of
P9000 Performance Advisor. For more information, see Configuring P9000 Performance Advisor
