Changing Your Password
To change your password:
1. From the discovery-tree, select the adapter whose password you wish to change.
2. Select the DHCHAP tab and click Set Password. The Password dialog box is
displayed.
3. Choose Set Local Password or Set Remote Password.

Local password is used by the adapter driver when the adapter initiates
authentication to the switch (typical use).

Remote password is used by the adapter driver when the switch authenticates
with the adapter. This is only possible when bi-directional is checked on the
DHCHAP tab.
4. If you want to see the password characters entered in the dialog box, check Show
Characters.
5. Provide the current value for the password to validate the 'set new password'
request (unnecessary if this is the first time the password is set for a given adapter).
6. Enter the new password.
7. Select alpha-numeric or hex format.
8. Click OK.
Caution: Do not forget the password once one has been assigned. Once a password is
assigned to an adapter, subsequent DHCHAP configuration settings for that
adapter including 'default configuration' or new passwords require you to
enter the existing password to validate your request (i.e. no further changes
can be made without the password).
Note: Additional help is available by clicking Help on the Set Password dialog box.
Viewing the Error and Event Log
For Solaris and Linux systems, a simple shell script checks the /var/adm/messages
and /var/log/messages files respectively for recent Emulex driver DHCHAP events
and outputs them to a default location.
To view the error and event log:
1. Click Event Log History on the Authenticate tab.
