HP OpenView Storage Management Appliance and Software - Manual (Page 54)

Configuring the Storage Management Appliance Software
38 Storage Management Appliance Software V2.0 User Guide
The system displays the warning text shown in Figure 30 if you are not using a
secure connection—see “ About Security ,” on page page 22 for detailed
information. You can make the manual entries described in the warning or click
the Secure Site link to establish a secure connection.
The Appliance Name page contains other material shown below the DNS suffix
field only when the Management Appliance is a domain member. When the
Management Appliance is a domain member, you must enter the name and
password for a person who is in the Domain Administrator group for that domain.
You should consider the following dependencies when renaming your
Management Appliance.
■
If you have an application installed that is dependent on the Management
Appliance name, you cannot change the system name. A message at the
bottom of the page tells you if an application is installed that prevents you
from changing the Management Appliance name.
■
The changed Management Appliance name will not display in the list on the
Manage Application Password page (Settings > Remote Access) until you
run a discovery. See “ Managing Remote Access ,” on page 31 for detailed
information. You must run the built-in Local SAN discovery to have the new
name recognized. If you are using DHCP, you must run the Local SAN
discovery after the DNS server has updated.
Caution: Do not use the Windows Control Panel to rename the Management
Appliance. The Management Appliance database can become corrupted and
prevent proper assignment of service privileges.
Domain Membership
In addition to the built-in security features of the Storage Management Appliance
Software, you can add the Management Appliance to a domain. Adding your
Management Appliance to a domain enhances security because the user and group
accounts are subject to the security policies set by the domain administrator and
enforced by the Windows network.
The Management Appliance can be a member of only one domain at any given
time. Use the Domain Membership page (Settings > Network > Domain
Membership) to add your Management Appliance to a specified domain.
