Allowing Other Users To Log In To Your IP SAN
By default, Adaptec Storage Manager includes only one user account, the
Administrator (which allows full access to your IP SAN and all Adaptec Storage
Manager features).
After setup is complete, if you want to maintain security but allow other users
limited or full access to your IP SAN, you can add them to Adaptec Storage
Manager, assign them an access privilege level, and set passwords for them to use
when logging in to the Management Service.
Note
You can log into the same Management Service from more than one GUI at the
same time, even if you log in at different access privilege levels.
For more information, see “Limiting User Access to Your IP SAN with the Security
Manager” on page 86.
Setting Up VSS/VDS Access
If you are using a VSS requester or a third-party VDS provisioning tool in a system
running Windows XP, Linux, or VMware, you must add that system to the
Microsoft VDS/VSS host list in Adaptec Storage Manager. (Refer to your Microsoft
VDS/VSS documentation for more information.)
The Management Service must be installed somewhere on the same network (or
subnet) as the VDS/VSS providers. The VDS/VSS providers can be installed on the
same system as the Management Service, or on a separate system.
Only systems on the VDS/VSS host list can complete jobs through the Management
Service, such as creating volumes or snapshots.
Note
On iSCSI Storage Hosts, Adaptec Storage Manager automatically updates the
VDS/VSS host list during installation. No manual intervention is required.
