Using the CLI
The Group Manager command-line interface (CLI) provides a comprehensive set of commands for managing a
PS Series group. The CLI also enables you to manage indiv
idual PS Series storage arrays for maintenance
purposes.
To access the group to run CLI commands, you can do one of the following:
• Use a network connection. From a computer, use telnet or
SSH to
connect to the group (or management) IP
address or—if you are running array management commands on a specific array—connect to an IP address
assigned to a network interface on the array.
• Use a serial connection. Set up a serial connection to the array,
as appropriate for the control module model.
Make the connection to Port 0 on the active control module (the ACT LED is green). Use the serial cable that
shipped with the array. See the Hardware Maintenance manual shipped with your array for more information.
See the CLI Refere
nce manual for more information about using the CLI. You can download documentation from
the EqualLogic Customer Support Website.
