This topic describes how to start the administrative command-line
interface (CLI).
Prerequisites
You must have Administrator, Operator, or Backup privileges to
perform this task.
Steps
- Log in directly to the engine, or from another workstation through
Secure Shell (SSH), using the local operating system authentication mechanism.
- Log in to the administrative server on the engine using the same
administrative user ID and password that you would use to log into the SAN
File System console. If you have not already set the password, you can do
this in one of two ways:
- Set the password using the tankpasswd utility.
- Set the SFS_CLI_PASSWDFILE environment variable to the location of
the password file.
- Enter the sfscli command to start the
administrative CLI to run commands in interactive mode.
