TIP: When writing scripts, use the adapter WWPN instead of adapter number.
7.4.2 Unable to Save Configuration
Issue: Under Mac OS X, non-root users with admin privilege cannot save Target Persistent Binding or
Selective LUN configuration.
Workaround: Use the sudo command. This allows you to run SANsurfer as the superuser or another
user. For example:
# sudo scli [options]
By default, sudo requires that users authenticate themselves with a password.
NOTE: By default, this is the user’s password, not the root password.
