Accessing a client through telnet

This topic describes how to access a client using telnet from the master console.

Prerequisites

Before you can access a client using telnet, the following requirements must be met:
  • You must have an operating system account for the service representative.
  • If the service representative is accessing the master console remotely, you must have previously initiated a virtual private network (VPN) connection with the service representative.

Steps

  1. From the master console, open a shell prompt and type telnet host, where host is the IP address of the client to be accessed.
  2. Log in using your operating system user ID and password.

Result

After the connection is established, you can perform these activities:
  • If you are accessing a UNIX® client, you can run SAN File System commands to stop and start the client as well as list client status.
  • If you are accessing a UNIX or Windows® client, you can also use the migratedata command.
  • You can access operating-system commands to enable or disable tracing, obtain dumps, and stop or start applications.
