    Why can't I make changes to the Dell Software storage array?
    • M
      Michelle BridgesSep 12, 2025
      If you are unable to make changes to the storage array, it may be due to a password mismatch. After changing the password on the storage array, you must also update the password in the Plug-in to match the storage array password.
