HP StoreOnce Backup - Manual (Page 9)

the role of both nodes in the event of node failure. Storage capacity within a single couplet can
be expanded in increments by adding:
•
HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup: pairs of 12–disk storage shelves up to a maximum of three
pairs per couplet.
•
HP StoreOnce 6500 Backup: up to five 22–disk expansion kits for the two disk enclosures in
each couplet.
Couplets are combined into logical groups managed from a single StoreOnce Graphical User
Interface (GUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI). This collection of couplets is called a cluster.
Using StoreOnce software version 3.11.00, you can add StoreOnce 6500 couplets to a StoreOnce
B6200 Backup system. This configuration is referred to as a mixed cluster configuration.
User types and user roles
User roles
Two roles define the permissions associated with a user; admin and user. Two default user accounts,
one for each role, are created automatically when the system is installed:
•
Administrator: Authorized users can create and edit management and StoreOnce functions
via the GUI and CLI. The default login and password are Admin and admin. The permissions
role of the Administrator is admin. You cannot delete this account, but you can and should
modify its password. Note that once the Admin account password has been changed, its
password cannot be changed back to admin as this password is not sufficiently complex. The
only way to revert that password back to admin is via the HPresetpassword account which is
only available on the local console of the device.
•
Operator: This account limits access to the GUI and CLI to monitoring and viewing. The default
login and password are Operator and operator. The permissions role of the Operator is user.
User types
After installation, an Administrator can configure additional user accounts and assign permissions
roles (admin or user) and passwords to these users. See the HP StoreOnce Backup system user
guide.
There are three types of user accounts:
•
Local User (with an administrator or user permissions role): Local users log in locally.
•
External User (with an administrator or user permissions role): User logs in as a domain user.
An external user is a Microsoft Active Directory user.
•
External Group (with an administrator or user permissions role): An external user is a Microsoft
Active Directory group. Members of the group log in as domain users. If after creating a group
you then set up a member of that group as an individual user (external user) and give them
an administrator role, that user will be an administrator, even if the group role is set to user.
This is because role permissions set through Add User take precedence over role permissions
set through Add Group.
Any user with an admin role has the same permissions as the default Administrator. Any user with
a user role will have the same permissions as the default Operator.
NOTE: To add external users or groups, first add the StoreOnce device to an AD domain.
Connection to an AD Domain is configured through the NAS CIFS server tab on the StoreOnce
GUI. See
Configuring CIFS Server with AD and CIFS Share with AD domain users (page 42) .
