Cli Scripting Through Ssh - HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 2-node Administrator's Manual

1. From any host that is running SSH client, enter the following example:
$ ssh user@<System host name>
In the previous example, ssh user is the first default user with Super rights and
<System host name> is the array host name.
2. If this is the first login from the client host (for example, when the host does not already have
a system public key for identity), expect the following message:
The authenticity of host <System host name> can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 68:a6:c9:60:a1:cb:....
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no): yes
When prompted to continue, enter yes.
This is normal SSH behavior, because the client host does not have the system's public key.
If the system's public key has previously been stored on the client host, this message will not
be displayed. After you have set the key, this message will not be displayed.
NOTE:
public keys provided as part of the HP 3PAR Administration Tools. These keys can be installed
with the administration tools or can be obtained directly from the HP 3PAR Administration
Tools CD. Consult the SSH client documentation for instructions on creating a key fingerprint
from the public key.
3. When prompted, enter the default password. If you do not have the password, contact your
service provider.
4. After you enter the password, the CLI prompt appears.
<System host name> cli %
In the previous example, System host name is the system's cluster name or host name.
You are now in the CLI shell and can issue the CLI commands that are documented in this
manual.
5. If you need to create additional CLI users, use the createuser command. For more
information, see
6. Terminate the CLI session by typing exit at the prompt.
<System host name> cli % exit
Newly created CLI users can access the CLI by following these instructions, while substituting
their own user name, system name, and password when prompted.

CLI Scripting Through SSH

You can use SSH public key authentication to issue CLI commands in scripts. No password is
required; however, you will need to generate a public/private key pair.

The validity of the key fingerprint presented at this point can be verified by using the
"Creating Users" (page 18).
