Logging on and off of Storage Mirroring
To ensure protection of your data, Storage Mirroring offers multi-level security using native operating system security
features. Privileges are granted through membership in user groups defined on each machine running Storage Mirroring. To
gain access to a particular Storage Mirroring source or target, the user must provide a valid operating system user name and
password and the specified user name must be a member of one of the Storage Mirroring security groups. Once a valid user
name and password has been provided and the Storage Mirroring source or target has verified membership in one of the
Storage Mirroring security groups, the user is granted appropriate access to the source or target and the corresponding
features are enabled in the client. Access to Storage Mirroring is granted on one of the following three levels:
‹ Administrator Access —All Storage Mirroring features are available for that machine. For example, this access level
includes creating replication sets and establishing Storage Mirroring connections.
‹ Monitor Access —Statistics can be viewed on that machine, but Storage Mirroring features are not available. For example,
this access level does not allow the user to create or modify replication sets or create or modify Storage Mirroring
connections, but does allow you to view the connection statistics for any established Storage Mirroring connections on
that machine.
‹ No Access —The machine appears in the Storage Mirroring Management Console and can be pinged from the Storage
Mirroring Text Client, but no other access is available.
1. Highlight a machine on the left pane of the Management Console. By double-clicking the machine name, Storage
Mirroring automatically attempts to log you on to the selected machine using the ID that you are currently logged on
with. Verify your access by the resulting icon.
2. If you have no access, the Logon dialog box will automatically appear. If you have monitor access or want to log on with
a different username, right-click the machine name and select
Logon .
3. Specify your Username , Password , Domain , and whether you want your password saved. Click OK . Verify your access
by the resulting icon and log on again if necessary.
4. To log off of a Storage Mirroring machine, right-click the machine name on the left pane of the Management Console and
select
Logout .
NOTE: If your activation code is missing or invalid, you will be prompted to open the Server Properties general
tab to add or correct the code. Select
Yes to open the Server Properties dialog box or select No to
continue without adding an activation code.
If the login does not complete within 30 seconds, it is automatically canceled. If this timeout is not long
enough for your environment, you can increase it by adjusting the
Communication Timeout on the
Configuration tab of the Management Console properties. Select File , Options , from the Management
Console to access this screen.
Storage Mirroring uses ICMP pings to verify server availability during the login process. If your Storage
Mirroring server is across a router or firewall that has ICMP pings disabled, you will need to disable the
Storage Mirroring ICMP ping verification. To do this, select
File , Options , from the Management Console
and disable Use ICMP to verify server availability .
