To Establish A Telnet Session - Sun Microsystems StorEdge T3+ Installation And Configuration Manual

To Establish a Telnet Session

The Telnet session is a direct network link to the array unit through the command-
line interface (CLI). You can execute individual commands to query and repair the
unit from this interface. The Telnet session requires access to the unit's IP address.
The CLI can then be run from any host that is part of the same subnetwork.
The advantages that a Telnet connection provides over a serial port connection are as
follows:
You can have multiple windows open for each array.
The Telnet connection provides a faster interface than the serial port connection,
which can be useful for displaying syslog information.
You can quickly determine the status of the array unit from the CLI. The syslog file
of the array file system contains a record of events that have occurred in the unit and
can also be examined through the CLI.
To open a Telnet connection and start a session with the array:
1. On the host, use the telnet command with the array name (or IP address) to
connect to the array.
For example, to use the telnet command to a array named T3-1:
mgmt-host# telnet T3-1
> Trying 123.123.123.1...
> Connected to T3-1.
> Escape character is '^]'.
> pSOSystem (123.123.123.1)
> Login: root
Password: password
>
where is the root password.
password
2. Verify the array has a root password by typing it at the prompt.
If no root password is set on the system, you will not be prompted to enter one. Use
the passwd command to establish a password.
