Setting SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager Security
SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager security ensures that HBA configuration changes
require password authorization. SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager prompts for the
password any time you click the Save button to change the HBA configuration.
SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager prompts for the password when you change the
following:
■ HBA driver
■ HBA firmware
■ HBA BIOS
■ HBA ROM
■ HBA port configuration
■ Target configuration
■ Target authentication (CHAP)
■ Password (when you want it changed)
You can change the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager application access password
for any host connected to your system for which you have administrator or root
privileges. More specifically, the following is required:
■ Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003. The login name (username) specified
must be for an account the agent is running on and be in the administrator group.
■ Red Hat/SuSE Linux and Solaris SPARC. The login name (user name)
specified must be for an account the agent is running on and be in the adm or
root group.
NOTE:
■ The default SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager application access password
is config. Change this password after installation to ensure that security
is not compromised.
■ The HBA ROM password differs and cannot be modified using these
procedures.
