Tips for signing in and signing out
l
Do not include a leading zero in an IP address. For example, enter 10.1.4.6 not 10.1.4.06.
l
Multiple users can be signed in to each controller simultaneously.
l
For each active Disk Storage Management Utility session, an identifier is stored in the browser.
Depending on how your browser treats this session identifier, you might be able to run multiple
independent sessions simultaneously. Internet Explorer can run separate Disk Storage Management
Utility sessions if you select New Session in the File menu. If you do not select this then all instances
of Internet Explorer share the same session, as does Firefox.
You can end a Disk Storage Management Utility session by clicking the Sign Out link near the top of the
Disk Storage Management Utility window. Do not simply close the browser window.
