To add or change the shelf manager root account password
For enhanced security you should use the following steps to add a password for the shelf
manager root account.
1 At the # prompt enter the following Linux command to add a password for the root
account:
# passwd
2 Enter and confirm a new password for the root account.
The password should be between 5 and 8 characters long and should include a
combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
You can use the passwd command to change the root account password at any time.
You can also use the passwd command to remove the root account. Enter the passwd
command and when prompted for a password, press enter to add a blank password.
To use the shelf manager command line interface agent (CLIA)
Once you have logged into the shelf manager CLI you use the Command Line Interface
Agent (CLIA) to enter shelf manager commands. Usually you do this from the Linux
command line by entering clia followed by the required CLIA command verb and
parameters. The CLIA executable connects to the main Shelf Manager software process,
passes the command information to it and retrieves the results.
