Normal login

By logging in, you can manage users and licenses, create a login message, or edit advanced system settings.

Procedure

  1. In your web browser, specify the following URL: 

    https://IP-address-or-host-name-of-SVP

    If you changed the port number of the protocol HTTP from the initial value (443), specify the following URL: 

    https://IP-address-or-host-name-of-SVP:port-number-of-the-protocol-HTTPS/

    If the loading window displays in Device Manager - Storage Navigator, wait until the service status changes to Ready (Normal). At that time, the login window displays automatically. The following is an example of the loading window.

  2. The following actions might be required to open the login dialog box, depending on your environment:

    • If a message indicates that the enhanced security configuration is enabled on the management client, select In the future, do not show this message and click OK.
    • If the SVP is set to support SSL-encrypted communication and security messages appear, make sure the certificate is correct and follow the instructions in the dialog box.
    • If a message indicates that certain web sites are blocked, follow instructions in Adding your SVP to the trusted sites zone for Windows Server computers.
    • If multiple storage systems are connected, a window which allows selection of the storage system is displayed. Select the storage system you want to connect.

  3. When the Storage Device List window opens, select the storage system.

    The Device Manager - Storage Navigator login window appears.

  4. Type the user ID and password.

  5. Click Login.

  6. If the Security Information dialog box appears, click Yes.

  7. If a local storage area pop-up dialog box of Adobe Flash Player Setting appears, click Allow to open the Device Manager - Storage Navigator main window. The cache function of Adobe Flash Player optimizes the process of Device Manager - Storage Navigator. Denial of the request might delay the processing speed of Device Manager - Storage Navigator.

    After you log in, the Device Manager - Storage Navigator main window opens. You can navigate using the menu, tree, or General Tasks. Precise instructions for performing an operation can be found in the software user guides. Also, see Appendixes D through G, which describe the screens in the GUI.

    NoteIf login fails three times with the same user ID, Device Manager - Storage Navigator stops responding for one minute. This is for security purposes and is not a system failure. Wait, then try again. The roles and resource groups for each user are set up ahead of time and will be available to you when you log in to Device Manager - Storage Navigator. If the roles or resource allocations for your username are changed after you log in, the changes will not be effective until you log out and log back in again. When you use a web browser for a long period of time, memory is heavily used. We recommend closing or logging out of Device Manager - Storage Navigator after you are finished using it.
