window
15. On the PuTTY Configuration window, click Open to establish a connection to the
management server to which your laptop is connected, and log in with username
service and password Mi@Dim7T.
Note the following:
• If the connection fails to open, ping 128.221.252.3 (the LAN port on your
laptop) to verify intercomponent communication. If the ping is successful,
ping 128.221.252.2 (the service port on the management server).
• The default Linux shell prompt for username service is
service@<current_working_directory>.
16. From the Linux shell prompt, type the following command:
Note: You can enter long Linux and VPlexcli commands faster by using the Linux tab
feature. If you start typing a command, pressing Tab at any time fills in the command
automatically, up to the point where the command might no longer be unique.
sudo /opt/emc/VPlex/tools/ipconfig/changehostname.py -n <hostname>
where <hostname> is a name for the management server, such as Cluster1, to
identify the Cluster ID. This name replaces the default name (service) in the shell
prompt the next time you open a PuTTY session to the management server.
17. Type the following command to connect to the VPlexcli:
vplexcli
Log in with username service and password Mi@Dim7T.
