group. These groups are created when X9000 software is installed. The following entries in the
/etc/group file show the default users in these groups:
ibrix-admin:x:501:root,ibrix
ibrix-user:x:502:ibrix,ibrixUser,ibrixuser
You can add other users to these groups as needed, using Linux procedures. For example:
adduser -G ibrix-<groupname> <username>
When using the adduser command, be sure to include the -G option.

Using the CLI

The administrative commands described in this guide must be executed on the Fusion Manager
host and require root privileges. The commands are located in $IBRIXHOME bin. For complete
information about the commands, see the HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference
Guide.
When using ssh to access the machine hosting the Fusion Manager, specify the IP address of the
Fusion Manager user VIF.

Starting the array management software

Depending on the array type, you can launch the array management software from the GUI. In
the Navigator, select Vendor Storage, select your array from the Vendor Storage page, and click
Launch Storage Management.

X9000 client interfaces

X9000 clients can access the Fusion Manager as follows:
Linux clients. Use Linux client commands for tasks such as mounting or unmounting file systems
and displaying statistics. See the HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference
Guide for details about these commands.
Windows clients. Use the Windows client GUI for tasks such as mounting or unmounting file
systems and registering Windows clients.
Using the Windows X9000 client GUI
The Windows X9000 client GUI is the client interface to the Fusion Manager. To open the GUI,
double-click the desktop icon or select the IBRIX Client program from the Start menu on the client.
The client program contains tabs organized by function.
NOTE: The Windows X9000 client GUI can be started only by users with Administrative privileges.
Status. Shows the client's Fusion Manager registration status and mounted file systems, and
provides access to the IAD log for troubleshooting.
Registration. Registers the client with the Fusion Manager, as described in the HP IBRIX X9000
Network Storage System Installation Guide.
Mount. Mounts a file system. Select the Cluster Name from the list (the cluster name is the
Fusion Manager name), enter the name of the file system to mount, select a drive, and then
click Mount. (If you are using Remote Desktop to access the client and the drive letter does
not appear, log out and log in again.)
Umount. Unmounts a file system.
Tune Host. Tunable parameters include the NIC to prefer (the client uses the cluster interface
by default unless a different network interface is preferred for it), the communications protocol
(UDP or TCP), and the number of server threads to use.
Active Directory Settings. Displays current Active Directory settings.
