User guide

Users
The MPX200 supports two types of users:
• Administrative user (admin): For managing the MPX200, you must be in an administrative
session. The default password for the administrator is config.
• Data migration user (miguser): This user session is required to configure migration-related
activities. The default password is migration.
Host
A host is a logical construct consisting of one or more initiator ports for one or more protocols.
The host simplifies the configuration process and prevents configuration errors during LUN masking
by:
• Representing a single server with one or many FC or iSCSI ports.
• Representing one or many servers, each with one or many FC or iSCSI ports. Servers are used
in a cluster environment where the same LUNs must be presented to multiple servers and cluster
hosts.
• Being available across the blades of a chassis.
Host attributes include the following:
• Symbolic name, which must be unique chassis-wide, identifies the host.
• OS type indicates the current OS type from initiator ports to be moved to the host. The initiator
ports inherit the OS type from the host. A change in the host OS type reflects in all the initiator
ports that are part of the host.
• Host state is either online (one or more initiator ports are logged in) or offline (all initiator
ports are logged out).
NOTE: If the host has LUN mapping on its initiators, the mapping to the host is removed when
you remove all the initiators.
A host without initiators cannot be mapped to LUNs.
