HP StorageWorks 2300 Modular Smart Array CLI reference guide 11

1 Using the CLI

This chapter introduces the HP StorageWorks 2300 Modular Smart Array command-line interface (CLI).

Accessing the CLI

The CLI software embedded in controller modules enables you to manage a storage system out of band.

You can access the CLI in two ways:

• By using a terminal emulator on a management host that is directly connected to a controller module’s

serial CLI port.

• By using Telnet, an SSH application, or a terminal emulator on a management host that is remotely

connected through a LAN to a controller module’s Ethernet port. See your product’s user guide for

information about setting management port IP addresses using the CLI.

Using CLI interactively

By default the CLI is an interactive application. When you are logged into the CLI, the CLI waits for a

command to be entered and then responds to it. This single operation mode is known as interactive mode.

The following example shows interactively starting a Telnet session, logging into the CLI, executing a

command to show free (available) disks, and exiting the CLI:

$: telnet 172.22.5.55
