NOTE: User accounts registered to HP Systems Insight Manager are different from the user accounts for Remote Web Console. To implement single sign-on, you do not need to register the user accounts of HP Systems Insight Manager to Remote Web Console. If a user logs in with both ways (to log in directly to Remote Web Console, and to log in with single sign-on from HP Systems Insight Manager), make sure that the operation privilege of the user account registered to HP Systems Insight Manager matches the operation privilege of Remote Web Console.

Installation Requirements and Procedures...
Overview of Login Procedures IMPORTANT: Because the initial user ID administrator has administrator privileges, one of the first tasks for the Remote Web Console administrator should be to change the password to maintain protection of the administrator-only and restricted functions. If you are logging in to Remote Web Console for the first time, use the initial user ID (administrator) and password (administrator) to log in as a storage administrator, and then change the password.
Table 12 Specifications and Restrictions Concerning Login Operations (continued) Item Specification Login history All login information, including user ID, login and logoff time, is recorded in the audit log file so that unauthorized access can be detected. Automatic logout operation If a user cannot log out normally, you can set the user to be automatically logged out from the SVP after a specific period of time.

storage system is partitioned, only one user can be in Modify mode for each SLPR. Any other users in the allocated SLPR can only view the storage system information in View mode. Some dialog boxes are not displayed in View mode. To view such information in View mode, view the Reports Display dialog box.
License Keys A license key is a textual key that functions as a password because it is entered into Remote Web Console and unlocks the protection of an option. Because each license key is generated with a storage system serial number and option ID input, each storage system requires a unique license key code.
Volume Retention Manager, and Data Retention Utility, the expiration of a temporary license key has the following effects: ◦ No new configuration settings may be performed. ◦ The configuration settings that were made before the temporary license key expired remain in effect and cannot be deleted. Non-configuration settings that were made before the temporary license key expired can be deleted from the SVP only (not from Remote Web Console).
The term key, which is the same as the permanent key, has a limit for the volume capacity that can be used for each program product option. If you add volumes and the available amount of volume capacity exceeds the licensed capacity, Capacity Insufficient will be displayed in Status in the License Key window.
Table 14 Licensed Capacity Type Type Explanation How to Estimate the Licensed Capacity Used capacity The licensed capacity is estimated using the “Estimating Licensed Capacity capacity that the program product option will use. Based on Used Capacity” (page 46). The estimated capacity differs depending on the program product option: Normal volumes (local volumes) External volumes mapped to the storage system...
External Volume Capacity (KB) = Volume Capacity (number of blocks) × 512 (byte) 1,024 Pool capacity ◦ The license capacity of XP Thin Provisioning is calculated using the total capacity of the XP Thin Provisioning pool. ◦ If you use V-VOLs of XP Thin Provisioning as P-VOLs or S-VOLs of XP Business Copy/XP Continuous Access/XP Continuous Access Journal, the license capacity of XP Business Copy/XP Continuous Access/XP Continuous Access Journal is calculated using the page capacity allocated to the XP Thin Provisioning V-VOLs (that is, used pool capacity).

The maximum length of the file name is 240 characters. Specifies the output file name of the spreadsheet, including output-file-name a relative path or an absolute path.
Spreadsheet Components The spreadsheet for use with Remote Web Console consists of the following components: Declaration Operation tags Parameters Comments Figure 69 (page 128) is an example of a spreadsheet. Figure 69 Example of a Spreadsheet Declaration The declaration is required at the beginning of a spreadsheet. You need to change some items in the declaration because some items in the declaration differ depending on the program products you use or the settings you configure in a spreadsheet.
Operation tags have two types: common operation tags for all program products and program-product-specific operation tags. For details on common operation tags, see “Common Operation Tags” (page 129). For program-product-specific operation tags, see the documentation for program products that support CFL Extension. Operation tags have the following characteristics: At least one program-product-specific operation tag is required in a spreadsheet.
