Accessing the CLI

To access the CLI to manage a group, use one of the following methods:

• Network connection. Use telnet or SSH to connect to the group IP address.
• Serial connection. If you do not have network access to the group, use the serial cable (or cables) shipped with the array. See the Hardware Maintenance manual shipped with your array for more information.

Note: When managing an individual array, you must use a serial connection to the array or use telnet or SSH to connect to an IP address assigned to a network interface on the array. Do not connect to the group IP address. See Running Array Management Commands for details.

Once connected to the group (or an array), press the <Enter> key and log in to a group administration account (for example, grpadmin). You can then enter CLI commands at the command prompt.

The following example shows how to use telnet to log in to a group.

Note that the password you enter is not displayed on the screen.
