Create Permission File
An ASCII permission file for the disk array to read must be created. Permission file structure and definitions are
detailed in the following steps:
1. The listing below is an example of a Permission file.
NODEWWN 50060b00000203cb 1 CW
NODEWWN 50060b00000203cb 0 CW
NODEWWN 50060b00000202f1 1 CW
NODEWWN 50060b00000202f1 0 CW
NODEWWN 50060b000002076d 0 0
NODEWWN 50060b000002076d 1 0
NODEWWN 50060b000002120b 0 0
NODEWWN 50060b000002120b 1 0
2. In the listing of step 1 above, the indicator NODEWWN specifies the host adapter. The 16-character number that
follows is the World Wide node address
3. The first number after the node address (0 or 1, in this case) identifies the specific LUN to which permissions are
being granted.
4. The final character set of each entry is the indicator for type(s) of permissions. Types of permissions are:
o C Configure
o W Write
o R Read
o 0 None
5. As shown in the listing of step 1, permissions (CW) have been granted to LUNs 0 and 1 of four host adapter
nodes, and no permissions (0) have been granted the other four host adapter nodes. The cluster host bus adapters
get full access to LUNs 0 and 1, and the other host bus adapters get none.
Load Permission File
To load the permission file, proceed as follows:
1. Open a DOS window, and type the following:
armsecure –w –c –f c:\temp\mysecure –p <password> <serialnumber>
where
–w is for write
–c is for clear
–f is for the file
–p is for the password
2. The disk array responds with a message indicating that the array has updated the security.
3. Type the following:
armsecure –e –p <password> <serialnumber>
4. Secure Manager is now enabled.
