Storage Management Appliance Software User Guide

The system displays the warning text shown in

Figure 29

if you are not using a

secure connection—see “

Security Features

” on page 21 for detailed information.

You can make the manual entries described in the warning or use the Secure Site
link to establish a secure connection.

The Appliance Name page contains other material shown below the DNS suffix
box only when the Storage Management Appliance is a domain member. When
the Storage 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. See “

Domain Membership

” on page 43 for more information about

this subject.

You should consider the following dependencies when renaming your Storage
Management Appliance.

If you have an application installed that is dependent on the Storage
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 Storage Management Appliance name.

The changed Storage Management Appliance name will not display in the list
on the Manage Application Password page until you run a discovery. See

Remote Access

” on page 36 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 Storage

Management Appliance. The Storage Management Appliance database can

become corrupted and prevent proper assignment of service privileges.

For further instructions on naming, see the Storage Management Appliance online
help.
