HP StorageWorks 2.140 Director Switch - Manual (Page 99)

Director Element Manager user guide 99
• Use the Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box to verify the changes about to be
made to each switch or director and to observe the progress of these changes.
The Security Change Confirmation and Status dialog box includes the user ID who initiated the
changes, the time that the changes were planned, the Server ID from which the changes are
populated, and all of the affected switches and directors. Server ID is identified by its server
name plus IP address.
The Detailed Changes table includes all of the individual configurations that security
administrator has made on the User tab. The columns of this table vary depending on from
which tab the security administrator is accessing the confirmation information.
If there is only one product to which changes need to be applied, then only that product is listed.
The product ID is identified by its Node name. By default, this product is highlighted and
selected.
If you applied the same user settings to multiple products, the product list displays multiple
product names that were selected from the Apply To dialog box. By default, the product that was
selected from the top table for configuration is highlighted. The content of Detailed Changes
table changes as you click through different products from the product list.
The differences between the to-be-populated setting and current settings on each individual
product are displayed, because the Apply To dialog box takes changes made on user settings
for one product, and generalizes them to multiple products whose user settings can be totally
different. The new settings replace the existing settings on other products.
To thoroughly check the new changes, click the different products on the product list and view
the detailed changes.
NOTE: Populating user related settings to multiple products, causes the new settings to override the
existing settings completely.
Clicking Start causes HAFM to populate changes to the switch or director specified in the
products list. Close is always enabled. If the user clicks on the Close button during the process, a
message is displayed to ask the user whether to abort the changes or not.
The bottom Status window displays the status of each product. If all changes are successfully
populated to a product, the status displays the product name and a successful message.
If there are no security settings being changed, the Security Change Confirmation and Status is
displayed with the Detailed Changes table displaying a message that no changes were found.
Clicking Start displays a Status window message that the security settings are identical and that
there are no changes to apply.
Setting Authentication Methods
Several tabs require you to specify the method the switch or director uses to authenticate the user’s
credentials, Local Only, Radius then Local, and Radius Only.
NOTE: In this context, a user can be a user, a software ID, or another device.
