the issue is that if we use a qlogic adapter then anyone with sansurfer software can use the default password to change the configuration if they discover any of the ip addresses associated with our open-e system.
side note:
it would be a useful feature to be able to 'bind' services to adapters, any idea if something like that is in the works?
Not currently as we had very little request for this and in place we use the Allow access IP,
Allow write IP or Deny function and ACL as well. Until we receive more requests for this then this can be in our future design tables. Although I see it as a big value, engineers would have to add some new GUI functions for this. We will need more time.
