We are recieveing too much alerts mentioneing ""84 authentication failures in 120 sec" what does it refers too ? and we wont change our password once the default password is changed as per our standard. We are facing this issue before we migrated to SMMC as well and currently too, Please help us to resolve this issue.


As you wrote "We are facing this issue before we migrated to SMMC",
please start a new topic.

As far as "what does it refer to"? Something attempting to access the 3PAR with out-of-date credentials.

Re: SSMC generating authentication failures

Hello,

Had the same issue with a customer's array and the rootcause is easy to be determined by using CLI:
showeventlog -startt "2023-05-11 13:00" -endt "2023-05-11 14:41"
or
showeventlog -startt "2023-05-11 13:00" -endt "2023-05-11 14:41" -msg "Authentication failure"

i've created an article with detailed explanation and troubleshooting steps: 3PAR & PRIMERA AUTHENTICATION FAILURES IN SSMC

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Dardan
