Signing in and signing out

Multiple users can be signed in to each controller simultaneously.

About this task

For each active PowerVault Manager session, an identifier is stored in the browser. Depending on how your browser treats this session identifier, you might be able to run multiple independent sessions simultaneously. For example, each instance of Internet Explorer can run a separate PowerVault Manager session. However, all instances of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari share the same session.

NOTE If the initial user has not been created, see Configuring and provisioning a new storage system for directions on signing in to the system for the first time. Otherwise, see the following procedure.

Steps

  1. In the web browser address field, type https://<IP address of a controller network port> and press Enter. (Do not include a leading zero in an IP address. For example, enter 10.1.4.33 and not 10.1.4.033.)
    The Sign In page opens. If the Sign In page is not displayed, verify that you have typed the correct IP address.
    NOTE HTTPS is enabled by default. To enable HTTP, see Enable or disable system management settings.
  2. Enter the username and password of an authorized user.
    • Username—A username is case sensitive and can have a maximum of 29 bytes. The name cannot already exist in the system, include spaces, or include any of the following: " , < \
    • Password—A password is case sensitive and can have from 8 to 32 printable characters. If the password contains only ASCII characters, it must contain at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one numeric character, and one non-alphanumeric character. A password can include UTF-8 characters except for the following: a space or " ' , < > \
  3. To display the interface in a language different than the one configured for the user, select the language from the language drop-down menu.
    Language preferences can be configured for the system and for individual users. The default language is English.
  4. Click Log In.
    The System Configuration Main page or the PowerVault Manager Dashboard is displayed.
    When you are ready to end your session, click Log Out in the banner. Do not simply close the browser window.
