HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 CLI Administrator's Manual

NOTE: See the HP 3PAR InForm OS Command Line Interface Reference for complete information
about these commands.
Accessing the CLI Using SSH
NOTE: The following screen examples display output for UNIX systems. Windows screens are
identical, with DOS prompts replacing UNIX prompts.
NOTE: A total of 16 connections is allowed at one time.
To access the CLI using SSH:
1. From any host that has SSH client, enter the following example:
$ ssh user@<System–host–name>
In the previous example, ssh user is the first default user with Super rights and
<System–host–name> is the system’s host name.
2. If this is the first login from the client host (e.g the host does not already have a system public
key for identity), expect the following message:
The authenticity of host <System–host–name> can’t be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 68:a6:c9:60:a1:cb:….
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no): yes
When prompted to continue, enter yes.
This is normal SSH behavior because the client host does not have the system’s public key. If
system’s public key has been stored on the client host before this connection, this message
will not be displayed. After you have set the key, on subsequent connections this message will
not be displayed.
NOTE: The validity of the key fingerprint presented at this point can be verified by using the
public keys provided as part of the InForm OS Administration Tools. These keys can be installed
with the administration tools or can be obtained directly from the InForm OS Administration
Tools CD. Consult your SSH client documentation for instructions on creating a key fingerprint
from the public key.
3. When prompted, enter the default password. If you do not have the password contact your
service provider.
4. After the password is entered, you will see the CLI prompt.
<System–host–name> cli % exit
In the previous example, System–host–name is the system’s cluster name or host name.
You are now in the CLI shell and can issue CLI commands documented in this manual.
5. If you need to create additional CLI users, use the createuser command. For more
information, see “Creating Users” (page 22).
