line interface to deploy single configuration over multiple storage systems
by replaying the CLI scripts predefined by the administrator.
• Support LCD panel
The LCD panel provides a quick overview of the system status as well as a
simple way for setting basic configurations. It is very convenient for people
who don’t have or don’t want to have the knowledge about the detailed
operations of a storage system. The system operators, like the staff in a
security control center, can also easily communicate with the administrators
by reporting the messages shown on the LCD panel.
• Remote management by Web, TELNET, and SSH
The administrator can connect to multiple storage systems by the networks
from one computer to remotely monitor the system status and execute
management tasks. The GUI can be accessed by web browsers, and the
CLI can be accessed by the console of TELNET or secure shell (SSH). As there
are more and more chances that the administrators are asked to support
the IT infrastructure of branch offices that might be far away, the capability
to support remote management largely reduces the administration efforts.
• Administration access control
As data is very important asset, access to the storage system must be
carefully guarded. The firmware offers control of the access to the storage
system operations. Two levels of access are provided: administrator and
user; the former has the full access to the storage system, while the later can
only monitor the system status without the permission to change the
configurations. The access control not only enforces the security but also
avoids configuration inconsistency.
