Adding an Authentication User
The super administrator can create users of different levels based on service requirements to restrict users' operations on a storage system, ensuring the stability of the service system and the security of service data. This section describes how to add a user to authenticate remote storage devices.
If a remote storage device has been added to the local storage device, you cannot perform the following operations for an authentication user on the remote storage device: Offline, Lock, Modify Password Next Login, Password Always Valid, Initialize Password, and Delete. Otherwise, the replication links used by the remote storage device will fail to be recovered upon next authentication, even adversely affecting HyperReplication and HyperMetro services.
Context
Add authentication users on the remote device of HyperMetro and the secondary device of remote replication for establishing remote device relationships between three storage devices.
Procedure
- Log in to DeviceManager of the remote device.
- Choose Settings > User and Security > Users and Roles > Users.
