Console sessions using the serial port
Note the following behaviors for serial connections:
• Some procedures require that you connect through the serial port; for example, setting the IP address or
setting the boot PROM password.
• For the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director, HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director, and HP
StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch enterprise-class platforms, You can connect to CP0 or CP1
using either of the two serial ports.
Connecting to Fabric OS through the serial port
1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation.
If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the
serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
2. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a
UNIX environment), and configure the application as follows:
• In a Windows environment:
• In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, use
ttya
instead and enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Password modification
The switch automatically prompts you to change the default account passwords after logging in for the first
time. If you do not change the passwords, the switch prompts you after each subsequent login until all the
default passwords have been changed.
The default account passwords can be changed from their original value only when prompted immediately
following the login; the passwords cannot be changed using the
passwd
command later in the session. If
you skip the prompt, and then later decide to change the passwords, log out and then back in.
The default accounts on the switch are admin, user, root, and factory. Use the default administrative
account as shown in Table 3 to log in to the switch for the first time and to perform the basic configuration
tasks.
There is only one set of default accounts for the entire chassis. The root and factory default accounts are
reserved for development and manufacturing. The user account is primarily used for system monitoring. For
more information on default accounts, see ” Default accounts ” on page 71.
