Logging In to DeviceManager (Using a Tablet)
You can use a tablet to log in to a storage system and conduct basic maintenance operations, such as checking alarms, performance statistics, and the basic information of the storage system.
Prerequisites
A Wi-Fi network that is connected to the storage system's management network is available onsite.
Context
- DeviceManager only supports TLS protocols (including TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2).
- Customers can use a tablet to log in to the storage system through their wireless routers. You can use iPad Air (Safari) and HUAWEI MediaPad 10 FHD (Chrome) to log in to the storage system. This section uses iPad as an example to describe how to log in to DeviceManager. The login operations on other operating systems are similar.
- For a 2 U controller enclosure, the default IP addresses of the management network ports on controllers A and B are respectively 192.168.128.101 and 192.168.128.102, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. For a 3 U or 6 U controller enclosure, the default IP addresses of the management network ports on management modules 0 and 1 are respectively 192.168.128.101 and 192.168.128.102, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
- The default user name and password of the super administrator are respectively admin and Admin@storage.
- By default, DeviceManager allows 32 users to log in concurrently.
- If a user does not perform any operations after logging in to the system for a period longer than the timeout limit (the limit is 30 minutes by default and modifiable), the system logs out automatically.
- If an account is not used to log in to the system for a certain period of time (the period is 60 days by default and modifiable), it will be locked and can only be unlocked by the super administrator.
Procedure
- Connect the iPad to the Wi-Fi network.
- On the iPad desktop, choose Settings > WLAN.
The system goes to the WLAN page.
- In the CHOOSE A NETWORK area, choose the Wi-Fi network.
The Enter Password page is displayed.
- In the Password text box, enter the password.
- Tap Join.
The iPad is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
- On the iPad desktop, choose Settings > WLAN.
- Log in to DeviceManager.
- On the iPad desktop, tap Safari.
- Set Address to https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8088/ismpad/login.html and tap Go. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of management network port on the storage system.
The DeviceManager login page is displayed.
- (Optional) Select a language from the Language check box.
- In the User Name and Password text boxes, enter the user name and password.
- The default user name and password are respectively admin and Admin@storage.
- If a verification code is required, enter the verification code.
- If you forget the password of an administrator or a read-only user, contact the super administrator to reset the password. If you forget the password of the super administrator (admin by default), contact root administrator _super_admin to log in to the CLI through a serial port and run initpasswd to reset the password. For details, see Resetting the Password of an Administrator or a Read-Only User and Resetting the Password of a Super Administrator.
- If you enter incorrect passwords for a specified number of times (3 times by default and equal to the value specified in Number of Incorrect Passwords on the Login Policy page), the account is automatically locked for the period of lock time.
- For V300R006C30 and earlier versions, the lock period is 15 minutes by default.
- For V300R006C50 and later, the lock period is 5 minutes by default
- Change the default login password immediately after you have logged in to the storage system for the first time. Periodically change your login password to reduce the password leakage risks. For details about how to change the password, see Changing Password.
- Click Login.
The system enters the management page.
