CLI Guide

Optional. Sets the base for entry and display of storage-space sizes:
• 2: Sizes are shown as powers of 2, using 1024 as a divisor for each magnitude. In base 2 when you set a
size, whether you specify a base-2 or base-10 size unit, the resulting size will be in base 2.
• 10: Sizes are shown as powers of 10, using 1000 as a divisor for each magnitude. This is the default. In
base 10 when you set a size, the resulting size will be in the specified unit. This option is the default.
Operating systems usually show volume size in base 2. Disk drives usually show size in base 10. Memory
(RAM and ROM) size is always shown in base 2.
[interfaces interfaces]
Optional. Specifies the interfaces that the user can access. Multiple values must be separated by commas
and no spaces
• cli: Command-line interface. This is enabled by default.
• wbi: PowerVault Manager web-browser interface. This is enabled by default.
• ftp: FTP or SFTP interface.
• smis: Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) interface.
• snmpuser: Allows an SNMPv3 user to view the SNMP MIB.
• snmptarget: Allows an SNMPv3 user to receive SNMP trap notifications. This option requires the trap-
host parameter.
• none: No interfaces.
The smis option is not supported for a user with the monitor or diagnostic role. A command that specifies
snmpuser or snmptarget cannot also specify a non-SNMP interface. To enable or disable protocols that can
be used to access interfaces, use the set protocols command.

• The value can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except: " , < >\
• A value that includes only printable ASCII characters must include at least one uppercase character, one
lowercase character, one numeric character, and one non-alphanumeric character.
• For an SNMPv3 user whose authentication-type parameter is set to use authentication, this specifies the
authentication password.
[precision #]
Optional. Sets the number of decimal places (1–10) for display of storage-space sizes. The default is 1.
[privacy-password encryption-password]
Optional. For an SNMPv3 user whose privacy-type parameter is set to use encryption, this specifies the
encryption password. The value is case sensitive and must contain 8–32 characters. A password cannot
contain the following characters: angle brackets, backslash, comma, double quote, single quote, or space. If
the password contains only printable ASCII characters then it must contain at least one uppercase character,
one lowercase character, one numeric character, and one non-alphanumeric character.
[privacy-type DES|AES|none]
Optional. For an SNMPv3 user, this specifies whether to use a security encryption protocol. This parameter
requires the privacy-password parameter and the authentication-type parameter.
• DES: Data Encryption Standard.
• AES: Advanced Encryption Standard.
• none: No encryption. This is the default.
