Adding user accounts
About this task
NOTE: In a metro node Metro configuration, metro node CLI accounts created on one management server are not
propagated to the second metro node management server. The user list command displays only those accounts that are
configured on the local metro node management server, not both server.
A user with an admin account can create an account as follows:
Steps
1. Launch PuTTY (or a similar SSH client), and establish a connection to the public IP address of the metro node management
server.
2. Log in with username admin.
a. If a user first time logs in with username admin, then the user is prompted to change the admin password.
b. In the metro node, the Admin account password must be changed on all nodes individually.
3. From the Linux shell prompt, type this command to connect to the VPlexcli:
vplexcli
4. From the VPlexcli prompt, type the following command:
user add -u username
a. When prompted, type the admin account password.
b. When prompted for a password for the new user, type a password.
