Changing password on LP Web System
 You can change the password for LP Web System from default. However, keep in
mind that you must enter the new password when performing dynamic firmware
update not only under LP Web System but also under HVM Navigator because the
latter partly uses the function of the former in the background.
 Be sure to save LP configuration information by pressing the "F9" key either from
Menu screen or Logical Partition Configuration screen before you change the
password.
Unless you save LP configuration information before you change the password, the following
will result:
EFI driver information set up in all LPARs will be lost.
Startup of Guest OS will always fail.
 After the step above, change the password according to "How to Change
Passwords" in User's Guide of Hitachi Compute Blade 2000 or Hitachi Compute
Blade320.
Notes on Firmware Update by Using LP Web System
LP firmware updating
 "LP F/W (Alt)" on LP Firmware Version Information screen temporarily goes blank
when you are updating the firmware. If this blank state continues, upgrade may have
error stopped or forcibly stopped. Please check the LP firmware upgrading event
status on LPAR manager System Log screen.
 To avoid disruption of the update operation, do not close the Web browser or use
"F5" function while upgrading. If upgrade operation is disrupted, return to top page
of LP Firmware Update and try again from uploading of an LP firmware (ISO image).
If upgrade operation has been forcibly or abnormally terminated, the Web browser may
hang depending on your computer configuration. If this problem occurs, you cannot log in
to LP Web System until operation times out (30 minutes).
 Make sure to logout from the LP Web System when completing the LP firmware
upgrade.
If you close the web browser without logout, you may not be logged in to LP Web System
until operation times out (30 minutes).
When LP Firmware update fails due to protection function of security software, check the
setting of the security software.
