To prevent unauthorized management operations, you can set the IP address of a controller node in a whitelist. The maximum number of IP addresses that can be set is 10.
-
Immediately after you set or change a whitelist, a REST API, CLI, or VSP One SDS Block Administrator operation cannot be performed temporarily. Wait for approximately 30 seconds before you perform an operation.
-
To use a VMware vCenter Server plugin, set the IP address of VMware vCenter Server in the whitelist. If you have not set VMware vCenter Server in the whitelist, information cannot be referenced from VMware vCenter Server.
-
(Bare metal) Operations on the console interface cannot be restricted by whitelist settings. If you want to restrict console interface operations, use the security settings provided by iLO for each storage node. For details, refer to the iLO User Guide provided by the vendor of the physical server to be used as the storage node.
