Physical Planning Considerations

Security Provisions

Security provisions are available to restrict unauthorized access to

a director, switch, or attached Fibre Channel devices. Access to the

director or switch (through the SAN management application,

Element Manager application, or EFCM Basic Edition interface) is

restricted by implementing password protection. Access to attached

computing resources (including applications and data) is restricted

by implementing one or more of the following security provisions:

— SANtegrity Authentication.

— SANtegrity Binding.

— Prohibit dynamic connectivity mask (PDCM) arrays.

—Preferred path.

—Zoning.

— Server and storage-level access control.

Password Protection

Access to the SAN management and Element Manager applications

requires configuration of a user name and password. Up to 16 user

names and associated passwords can be configured. Each user is

assigned rights that allow access to specific sets of product

management operations. Table 5-2 explains the types of user rights

available. A user may have more than one set of user rights granted.

Table 5-2 Types of User Rights

View Only The user may view product configurations and status but may not make changes. These rights are the default

if no other user rights are assigned.

Operator The operator may view status and configuration information through the Element Manager application and

perform operational control changes such as blocking ports and placing the product online or offline.

Product

The product administrator can make control and configuration changes through the Element Manager

application.

The system administrator can make control and configuration changes, define users and passwords, and add

or remove products through the SAN management application.
