HP StorageWorks 1510i Modular Smart Array - Manual (Page 13)

1 CLI setup and overview
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is used to configure and manage the array controller and its storage.
Tasks include configuring logical storage units (LUNs), limiting access to storage, viewing system and
component information, configuring iSCSI elements, and setting up the management interface.
The CLI can also be used to display system setup information and status, and, provide information on
devices that are attached to the controller.
CLI setup
You can access the CLI in three ways:
• Accessing the CLI through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection
• Accessing the CLI through a Telnet connection
• Accessing the CLI through a serial connection
NOTE:
For information about planning for and installing the MSA, connecting the hardware, and obtaining
the default IP address of the management port, see the HP StorageWorks 1510i Modular Smart Array
installation and user guide .
Accessing the CLI through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection
SSH provides the most secure way to access the CLI over a network. Data transmitted through SSH is
encrypted. Before using SSH, you must download and install an SSH connection utility. HP recommends
using a utility called PuTTY. The following procedure describes using PuTTY.
1. If necessary, download and install the PuTTY SSH connection utility. Use an Internet search engine
