Fabric OS 5.3.0 administrator guide 27
Every logical switch (domain) has a set of default accounts. 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 ” About the default accounts ” on page 66.
Table 4 describes the default administrative accounts for switches by model number:
*
HP StorageWorks SAN Director 2/128 configured with two domains : Each of the two logical switches has its own set of
default accounts. The default account names and passwords are the same for both of the logical switches.
Changing default passwords summary
The “change default account passwords” prompt accepts a maximum of eight characters. Any characters
beyond the eighth character are ignored. Only the default password is subject to the eight character limit.
User-defined passwords can have 8 to 40 characters. They must begin with an alphabetic character and
can include numeric characters, the dot (.), and the underscore ( _ ). They are case-sensitive, and they are
not displayed when you enter them on the command line.
Record the passwords exactly as entered and store them in a secure place. Recovering passwords requires
significant effort and fabric downtime. Although the root and factory accounts are not meant for general
use, change their passwords if prompted to do so and save the passwords in case they are needed for
recovery purposes.
NOTE: See ” Connecting to the CLI ” on page 25 for details on how to establish a connection to the
switch.
