Controlling access

You can use the msConfigure command to control access to the management server database.
An ACL of WWN addresses determines which systems have access to the management server database.
The ACL typically contains those WWNs of host systems that are running management applications.
If the list is empty (the default), the management server is accessible to all systems connected in-band to
the fabric. For more access security, you can specify WWNs in the ACL so that access to the
management server is restricted only to those WWNs listed.
The ACL is switch-based. Therefore, only hosts that are connected directly to the switch are affected by the
ACL. A host that is somewhere else in the fabric and is connected to a switch with an empty ACL is
allowed to access the management server.
NOTE: The msConfigure command is disabled if the switch is in secure mode. See the HP
StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS administrator guide for more information.

Displaying the management server ACL

3. At the select prompt, enter 1 to display the access list.
A list of WWNs that have access to the management server is displayed.
In the following example, the list is empty:
switch:admin> msconfigure
0 Done
1 Display the access list
2 Add member based on its Port/Node WWN
3 Delete member based on its Port/Node WWN
select : (0..3) [1] 1
MS Access list is empty.
