Broadcom strongly recommends that the RAIDConsole management application be protected by a password
since misuse of the application could easily result in destroyed data. You have the opportunity to either enable
or disable password protection for the application the first time you start it, when
First Time Run
is displayed
as shown below. If you choose not to protect the application with a password at this time, you can do it later
from the
Options
menu.
To set Password Protection from First Time Run:
1.
Type a password in the
Password
box.
2.
Confirm the password by typing it again in the
Confirm
box.
3.
Click
Continue
.
The
Array Status
window opens.
Notes:
•
If you forget your password, you will not be able to run the application. Select a password that you
will remember.
•
The password must be at least six characters long.
•
The password is case-sensitive.
•
Four chances to enter the password correctly are given. If you fail to type the password correctly,
the application closes after the fourth try. To try again, reopen the application.
•
The application does not keep track of passwords that have been previously used.
•
To change an existing password, see
“Changing Your Password Settings” on page 102
.
