For the SRA to have uninterrupted access to both arrays, we recommend creating dedicated accounts for SRM. Using dedicated accounts on each array helps ensure that service is not unintentionally disrupted due to a password rotation, account lockout, account disablement, or account deletion.
Use these example steps to create dedicated accounts:
This account requires administrator privileges, and the password assigned must meet PowerStore password complexity requirements. For added security, create unique account names on each system with unique passwords. The account names and passwords are arbitrary.
The srmadmin account can now be used within the SRM Array Manager configuration.
Note: Each PowerStore appliance, whether it is at the protected or remote site, maintains its own user access database. Credentials are required for PowerStore appliances at both sites.
