5 Managing Switches
This chapter describes the tasks used to manage switches in the fabric. The switches supported by the
Enterprise Fabric Management Suite application are:
• HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
• HP StorageWorks SN6000 Single Power Supply Fibre Channel Switch
• HP StorageWorks SN6000 Dual Power Supply Fibre Channel Switch
Managing user accounts
Only the Admin account can manage user accounts with the User Account Administration dialog boxes.
However, any user can modify their own password. To open a User Account Administration dialog box,
select Switch > User Accounts.
A user account consists of the following data:
• Account name or login
• Password
• Authority level
• Expiration date
Switches come from the factory with the following user accounts:
• admin—Admin authority, never expires, password is password
• images—No Admin authority, never expires, password is images
The Admin account is the only user that can manage all user accounts with the User Account
Administration dialog boxes. The Admin account can create, remove, or modify user accounts, and
change account passwords. The Admin account can also view and modify the switch and its configuration
with Enterprise Fabric Management Suite. The Admin account cannot be removed.
Users with Admin authority can use Enterprise Fabric Management Suite to view and modify the switch
and its configuration. Users without Admin authority are limited to viewing only the switch status and
configuration.
The Images account is used to exchange files with the switch using FTP. The Images account cannot be
removed.
NOTE: If the same user account exists on a switch and its RADIUS server, that user can log in with either
password, but the authority and account expiration always come from the switch database.
