HP StorageWorks 2.32 Edge Switch - Manual (Page 93)

Edge Switch Element Manager user guide 93
The ID and secret must be defined for the HAFM appliance so that:
• After API authentication is enabled, the HAFM appliance is not locked.
• If mutual authentication is required between software and switch, a software ID is needed. The
HAFM appliance is given a default ID during installation. Accept the default or provide another
ID name. The Software ID name must be unique. If the same ID is used, the latter is rejected and
the name must be changed.
Disabling API authentication on the switch
If API authentication is not enabled on a switch, the HAFM appliance can manage the switch if an
MPI link with the switch is established. If the HAFM appliance is not licensed with SANtegrity
Security Center, launch the Element Manager to add this appliance to the permitted software list for
the switch.
Adding the current HAFM appliance to the Permitted Software list
The Permitted Software list displays software IDs that are allowed to access the switch through API.
1. To manage the switch, add the current HAFM appliance to the permitted list by selecting the
Include Current Server check box.
If the current appliance does not have a CHAP Secret defined, a message is displayed
indicating you have not defined a CHAP secret for this appliance yet.
If a CHAP Secret is defined, click OK to add the current HAFM appliance to the Permitted
Software list.
2. To define a CHAP Secret for the HAFM appliance, click OK to display the Server Properties
dialog box.
If you click Cancel, the Software tab is displayed with the check box not selected. The HAFM
appliance cannot be added without the CHAP Secret defined.
3. Define the CHAP secret, and click OK on the Server Properties dialog box to return to the
Software tab.
4. Click Apply or Apply To to populate the CHAP Secret and server ID to the selected switch or
switches.
When the current server ID is stored in the switch, the Include Current Server check box is
disabled, but still selected. The check box can be enabled only if the current HAFM appliance is
removed from the Permitted Software list.
Removing the current HAFM appliance
To remove the current HAFM appliance, you can do one of the following:
• When the server ID is defined only in the HAFM appliance and has not been added to the
switch, the current appliance can be removed by not selecting the Include current server check
box. If the current appliance is selected, Remove is disabled.
• If the server ID and CHAP Secret have been added to the switch, highlight the current appliance,
and click Remove. If the current appliance is removed from the Permitted Software list, the
Include current server check box is enabled.
