except the ability to perform zone and security configuration and user management. See Table 3 for a
high-level description of role permissions.
The MUA feature was introduced in Fabric OS v3.2.0/v4.4.0 and the switchAdmin can log in; however,
the role is restricted to user-level, observation-based functions.
This manual lists all the commands available to the user- and admin-level logins. See ”MUA-based roles”
on page 777 for commands available to the switchAdmin role.
NOTE: The admin access level has access to all the commands needed to manage and configure a
switch or fabric. The admin account is the recommended login level.
Using the Fabric OS command line interface
The Fabric OS command line interface (CLI), accessed through either telnet or serial console, provides an
administrator with full management capability on an HP StorageWorks switch. The Fabric OS CLI
enables an administrator to monitor and manage entire fabrics, individual switches, and ports from a
standard workstation. The entire suite of Fabric OS features and capabilities is available across an entire
fabric, from a single access point. Selected commands must be issued from a sectelnet or SSH session, as
indicated in the command description in this manual.
Access is controlled by a switch-level password for each access level. The commands available through
the CLI are based on the user’s login level and the license keys used to unlock certain features.
Fabric OS CLI is the complete fabric management tool for HP SANs and provides the following:
