Accessing the administrative CLI

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

  1. Log in directly to the engine, or from another workstation through Secure Shell (SSH), using the local operating system authentication mechanism.
  2. 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.
  3. Enter the sfscli command to start the administrative CLI to run commands in interactive mode.
