To create secure Internet access to the DS8000® Storage
Management GUI, use the HTTPS
protocol.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to create secure Internet access to
your DS8870.
- Update the licensed machine code (LMC) on your DS8870 to V7.1 or
V7.1.5. LMC V7.1 and V7.1.5 disable the HTTP protocol (through port 8451) and require the use of HTTPS
protocol (through port 8452) to access the DS8000 Storage
Management GUI.
- For DS8870
storage systems that already have LMC V7.1 (v 87. 10.102.0) or later, the HTTP protocol (through
port 8451) is disabled and HTTPS protocol (through port 8452) is required to access the DS8000 Storage
Management GUI
- For DS8870
storage systems that have LMC earlier than V7.2, ensure that only the HTTPS protocol (port 8452) is
used to access the DS8000 Storage
Management GUI.
