Array Root Password (Sun StorEdge 6120)

Sun StorEdge 6120 arrays are shipped from the factory with no password set for the array's root user. Ensure that you set the array's root user password before logging in to the web browser to manage arrays.

Note - You can register the Sun StorEdge 6120 array without a root user password but you cannot manage the arrays unless the root user password exists. See To Register A New Array for the array registration procedure.
