Password Validation Timeout
Choose “View and Edit Configuration parameters,” “Controller
Parameters,” then press [ENTER]. Select “Password Validation
Timeout,” and press [ENTER]. Choose to enable a validation timeout
from one minute to always check. The always check timeout will
disable any configuration change without entering the correct
password.
Controller Unique Identifier
Controller Unique Identifier is required for operation with the
Redundant controller configuration. The controller will
automatically notify users to enter a unique identifier when the first
logical drive is created in a dual-controller system.
The unique identifier will be used to generate a Fibre channel "node
name" (WWNN). The node name is device-unique and comprised of
information such as the IEEE company ID and this user-configurable
identifier as the last two bytes.
In redundant mode, configuration data is synchronized between
controllers. Host ports on both controllers appear with the same node
name and each with a different port name (WWPN). When a
controller fails and a replacement is combined as the Secondary
controller, the node name will be passed down to the replacement.
The host will not acknowledge any differences so that controller
failback is totally transparent.
