name or IP address.

The default user name is “RAID” and the initial password is “hpt”. You can change

you can remove this file to reset the password.

hptsvr is running. If hptsvr is not running, you can start it manually by using the

following command (from a terminal window)

“/Library/StartupItems/Hptsvr/hptsvr”.

If you can’t connect to a remote system, make sure hptsvr is running on that system.

configured, make sure TCP port 7402 is not blocked.
