This section describes how to access the menu-driven and command-line
user interfaces. Detailed information for both types of interfaces is
provided so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
After you have accessed the user interface, you need to decide whether
to use the menu-driven or the command-line interface.
If you are unsure of the command syntax, use the menu-driven
interface.
For more information about the MEnu command, see Reference for
Enterprise OS Software. For information on how to use the
menu-driven interface, see the next section.
If you know the exact syntax, enter the command at the system
prompt.
For information about the command line and rules for entering
commands, see Appendix C. To access the command-line, see "Using
the Command-line Interface" on page 57. The syntax for each
command and parameter is described in Reference for Enterprise OS
Software.
The MEnu command allows you to:
Display a list of available services.
Choose a service and display the list of parameters available for
that service.
Display a list of parameters in the current service.
Choose a parameter and display the commands used with it.
Check the active and default values of a parameter.
Display the online help syntax of a parameter.
Enter the new value of a parameter.
The following prerequisites and notes apply when using the menu-driven
interface:
You must have Network Manager privilege.
You cannot access some parameters; for example, you cannot alter
the number of lines on the screen, or change privilege level.
To access the SuperStack II system through the REMote command, you
must use the command-line interface.
