Overview Of Cli; Accessing The Cli - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Best Practices Manual

A.1 Overview of CLI
The CLI software is a terminal-based command line interface that allows you to
monitor and manage the IBM TotalStorage external storage subsystem. iSCSI
targets and FC volumes that will appear as local disk storage on your server can
be created and managed. Comprehensive event logging features allow you to
monitor the entire.
A.1.1 Accessing the CLI
You can access CLI two ways. Each method presents CLI automatically:
Attach a VT100 terminal emulation utility (for example, hyperterminal) to the
serial port of the storage subsystem.
Use these terminal emulation program settings to access the CLI:
– Null Modem Cable
– Baud Rate:115,200
– Data Bits: 8
– Parity: None
– Stop Bits: 1
– Flow Control: Off
Connect to the storage subsystem through a Telnet session (once the initial
network values have been set.)
Telnet to the IP address that is assigned to the Management port on the
storage subsystem.
Note: The factory default IP address for the management port for Controller A
is 192.168.70.123 (ETH0[A]). The management port for Controller B defaults
to 192.168.70.124 (ETH0[B]).
A.1.1.1 Access Levels and Passwords
The CLI has two levels of access: Operator or Administrator. From the Operator
level you can monitor the current status of the system, but you cannot make any
configuration changes. To set the Operator password type:
password operator <Enter>
new password ***** <Enter>
confirm new password ***** <Enter>
Note: You must be in Administrator level to set passwords.
From the Administrator level, you have full access to all the features of the
software and can make changes to the configuration of the system.
