Reset IBM DS3524 / DS3512 RAID Manager Password

Telnet to both controllers IP-addresses (or use serial console via 4pin mini DIN plug in top left corner of both controllers), and type below once you get login prompt.

VxWorks login: shellUsr
Password: wy3oo&w4 (not shown as you enter it)

-> loadDebug
value = 1 = 0x1
-> setSAPassword_MT ""
ReturnCode = 0x1
value = 1 = 0x1
-> unld "Debug"
value = 0 = 0x0
-> exit
This removes the password, so you can configure through the DS Storage Manager without entering a password. Log on to controller B and follow the same steps.

No need to reboot, it should work immediately.

  1. Is there any risk to lose the content of the disks doing this procedure? I can't lose any data.

  2. Anyone can tell me about it? I'm afraid of doing this procedure and the storage wipes out the disks.
