Description
The /opt/SUNWsecfg/runsecfg utility, and command line scripts in the /opt/SUNWsecfg/bin directory, may receive a PASSWD ENV variable error, if the Sun StorEdge[TM] T3+ array password is improperly set.

Steps to Follow
By default, the Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays in a StorEdge[TM] 3900/6900 series, have no password set. When prompted for a password, just press the "Enter/Return" key to gain access to the Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays.

If your passwords on the Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays are null, do not set the PASSWD
variable. Only use this variable if you use the same password for each Sun
StorEdge T3+ array.

If the password on the T3+ does not match the PASSWD environment variable on the
Service Processor(SP), then you will get the following error:

 root# /opt/SUNWsecfg/bin/showt3 -n t3b0
ERROR: t3b0 : login failed: bad name or password.
ERROR: t3b0 : ENV variable PASSWD must be set to the T3+ password.

Use the method below to properly set the passwords in the Sun StorEdge T3+
arrays in a SE3900/6900 series.

1) Telnet into the Sun StorEdge T3+ arrays, and use the passwd command to set
a new password:

   Telnet session (192.168.0.40 or t3b0)

   Login: root
Password:

   T3B Release 2.01.01 2002/07/30 19:16:42 (192.168.0.40)
Copyright (C) 1997-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All Rights Reserved.

   t3b0:/:<1>passwd
OLD password:<enter>
NEW password:sun
NEW password (confirm): sun
t3b0:/:<2> exit

2) Telnet into the service processor and edit the file: /.profile or
/etc/profile to include the following modifications:

   Add "PASSWD={new T3+ password}" line before the export line.
(for example:  PASSWD=sunt3)

   Append "PASSWD" to the end of export line
(ie:  export PATH MANPATH FPATH PS1 PASSWD)

3) Logout and log back into the SE3900/6900 service processor for the
PASSWD variable to take effect.

The /opt/SUNWsecfg/runsecfg and scripts in /opt/SUNWsecfg/bin should now
work with the new T3+ passwd.
