Hi,
I was looking on the google for the answer for this question, and all I could find was like reinstall Command View or demote your DC, both solutions are inadequate and can be done only in test environment. So long story short I could not find anything, so I had to try to solve it myself. And here is the solution:
I had it on Win2008 which was promoted as DC, after that as expected not sufficient privileges
So after Win2008 promoted as DC, there is no more HP groups obviously, so I created just as expected two groups in AD HP Storage Admins and HP Storage Users and added desired users into this groups. No big deal so far. Then comes interesting part, what you have to do is to edit file XFSecurity.cfg in C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\XF\bin\win-32. You might have only Program Files if you have 32-bit Windows or whatever your original installation path used to be. In this File find following section and change following lines with your NetBIOS domain name
Lines:
group %L, %L\HP Storage Admins, CV Storage Manager
group %L, %L\HP Storage Users, CV Storage User
change to, where PACS is your NetBIOS name
group PACS, PACS\HP Storage Admins, CV Storage Manager
group PACS, PACS\HP Storage Users, CV Storage User
So it looks like this:
Section Groups {
# syntax: group <Security Domain>, <Group Name>, <Role>
# <Security Domain> can be %L, the local host name, or a domain name. If "%L" is used, then XF will deal with host name changes automatically
# <Group Name> is the name of a security group
# <Role> a previously defined role in the "Roles" section above
# group %L, %L\HP Storage Admins, CV Storage Manager
# group %L, %L\HP Storage Users, CV Storage User
group PACS, PACS\HP Storage Admins, CV Storage Manager
group PACS, PACS\HP Storage Users, CV Storage User
}
Then run following command as admin: XfAppMgr.exe register XFSecurity.cfg
C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\XF\bin\win-32>XfAppMgr.exe register XFSecurity.cfg
Then stop the following Services:
HP P6000 Command View
HP P6000 PA Database
HP P6000 PA Server
Then start the Services again:
HP P6000 PA Server
HP P6000 PA Database
HP P6000 Command View
Now login in Command View works without reinstalling
