Modifying storage connection properties

Edit online

You can modify the connection properties for a storage system, including IP addresses, user name and password.

About this task

Prerequisites:
  • You must have Administrator privileges to modify storage connection properties.
  • The storage system must be in the Disconnected state to change most storage connection parameters. You can add a secondary HMC to an existing HMC connection without the HMC being disconnected.

A storage system can lose connection to the management server, for example, if a port is blocked by a firewall or the user name or password is changed on the storage system. If the storage system loses connection, you might need to modify parameters (for example, user name or password) manually on the storage system, and then update the parameters in Copy Services Manager.

Perform these steps to modify storage connection properties:

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar, click Storage > Storage Systems.
  2. On the Storage Systems page, click the Connections tab.
  3. Click the storage connection ID.
  4. Modify the appropriate settings to match the settings for the storage system.
  5. Click Apply.
