Logging In as the Administrator

To create storage in Adaptec Storage Manager, you must log in as an Administrator. The login procedure for the Administrator varies for each operating system. Optionally, you can register your controller after you log in. You can also enable statistics logging on your system.

If you choose to enable statistics logging, Adaptec Storage Manager periodically gathers I/O statistics and configuration details and sends the information to Adaptec for analysis. See Logging Statistics for Remote Analysis for more information.

To log in as the Administrator:

  1. In the Enterprise View, select the local system. (Show Me!)

Adaptec Storage Manager opens the Login window.

  1. Enter a valid user name and password for the Administrator or Administrative User on the system. (How do I identify myself as an Administrator on different operating systems?)

    To identify yourself as an Administrator in Adaptec Storage Manager:

    • Windows—Enter a valid user name and password for the Administrator or Administrative User on the system. The Administrative User is any member of the local Administrators group, which can, in a Domain configuration, include Domain Administrators.

    • Linux, UnixWare, Openserver, or Solaris—Enter root for the user name and enter the root password.

  2. Click Connect.

  3. (optional) Click Register Now, then follow the on-screen instructions to register your controller.

  4. (optional) Click Yes to enable statistics logging, enter your proxy server information (if needed), click Send Call Home test message, click OK, then click OK again.
