The storage server ships with a comprehensive CLI, documented in the online man pages and the CLI Command Line Reference. You can access the server/cluster CLI through the Server Control (SSC) utility, available for Windows and Linux.
Access the CLI in the following ways:
- Secure Shell (SSH) connection into the server through the SMU
- SSH or Telnet connection directly into the server
- Server Control (SSC) utility, available for Windows and Linux
Note: To access the file server CLI directly, using
SSH or SSC, through the public network, a server administration IP address may be
assigned to at least one of the gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The server supports
access to its CLI through any administrative IP address. By default, an
administrative IP address is available on the private management network.
Note: When using the server CLI, the console device
should be configured to use UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding. When using the CLI through SSH
or SSC, the server sends and expects to receive data using UTF-8 encoding, so the
device sending data to or receiving data from the server should be configured to use
UTF-8 encoding.
Note: System administrators can query the LDAP server for information about hosts configured into netgroups. You may discover whether a host is in a specific netgroup hierarchy or all of the netgroups to which a host belongs. The
nis-is-host-in-netgroup and
nis-netgroups-for-host commands are used to check whether a host is a member of a specified netgroup or to determine the set of netgroups to which a host belongs.
