Chapter 4: Using the CLI Commands
4.1 Overview
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a set of commands which allows users to configure or monitor the RAID system by
entering lines of text through a variety of the terminal consoles. The Figure 4-1 depicts how the CLI can be accessed:
With the embedded CLI, you can get full-function management capabilities without the need to install any software on your
hosts. But you can access only one system by a terminal at a time.
The login information (login name and password) to the CLI is the same as the login information for Web GUI of the RAID
system to be accessed. 0000 is the default login password.
4.1.1 Embedded CLI
The embedded CLI can be accessed remotely by the Ethernet (TCP/IP) and locally by the RS232 terminal. And by Ethernet,
you may use Telnet and SSH (Secure Shell).
Telnet client software is available for all operating systems, and you can download the SSH client software from the following
web sites:
SSHWinClient: http://www.ssh.com/
PuTTY: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
