Command-line interface usage

One of the simplest methods of monitoring and managing activities performed by the storage enclosure system is to use the

command-line interface (CLI) embedded in each controller module. There are two primary access methods:

Direct connection to a controller module's serial USB port using a terminal emulator installed on a management host

Remote connection to a secure LANusing either SSH or HTTPS

Configure Linux for serial communication If you do not have a terminal emulator, such as Minicom, you must obtain one prior to completion of this task. To configure Linux for serial communication: IMPORTANT While Linux systems do not require installation of a device driver, it might require USB parameters as you load the device driver to enable controller recognition. modprobe usbserial vendor=0x210c product=0xa4a7 use_acm=1 You may also choose to incorporate the same information into the /etc/modules.

l l An installed and tested terminal emulator. An installed and tested Windows USB device driver to connect to the controller module USB port, by using the native USB serial driver for Windows 10/Server 2016 or higher, or by downloading and installing the Seagate device driver. To configure Windows for serial communication: 1. Start and configure the terminal emulator, using the specified settings.

NOTE See the CLI Reference Guide for information about IPv6, and the commands used to add IPv6 addresses and set IPv6 network parameters. The ipv6 term is included within each relevant command name. 8. Choose one of the following actions to verify the new IP address: a. For IPv4, use the show network-parameters command. b. For IPv6, use the show ipv6-network-parameters command. The result for each controller includes the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. 9.
PAGE 7
NOTE By default, your system is loaded with self-signed certificates. You should generate new self-signed certificates on each controller, using the create certificate CLI command. Expect browser warnings about security or privacy concerns related to self-signed or untrusted certificates or invalid certificate authorities. Bypass such warnings, if you are confident of a secure connection.
