InForm OS Version 2.3.1 3PAR InForm CLI Administrator’s Manual

◆ If you are running the CLI commands as individual commands, you can put each

command in a script or pipe them to other commands. You can use the shell of your

choice for scripting or initiating interactive sessions that provide history and line editing

capabilities.

■ Enter cli at your DOS or Solaris and Linux prompt to run the cli script. Running this

script places you into an interactive Tcl shell where all CLI commands are available.

◆ The Tcl shell connects to the system and remains connected until you exit from the shell.

While the Tcl shell is connected, you are not prompted for your username and password

for each command you issue.

◆ The Tcl shell provides access to the Tcl language that allows you to write Tcl procedures

or source Tcl scripts that build on top of CLI commands.

3.4 SSH

The InServ storage system is provided with Secure Shell (SSH) protocol version 2 that enables

great flexibility in accessing the InForm CLI and provides an alternative to installing the remote

CLI client. SSH uses public-private key encryption algorithms to encrypt all traffic between the

client and server, including passwords.

SSH client applications are typically provided with the following operating systems:

■ AIX

■ HP–UX

■ Linux

■ Sun™ Solaris™

For Microsoft® Windows® users, an SSH client is available at http://www.openssh.org.

NOTE: Help is available to display information about CLI commands. If you

started the CLI with the

cli command, you can obtain help by typing either help

clihelp. When you run individual CLI commands from a system's native shell,

use

clihelp.
