--user-name -u user-name Specifies the user name on the PS Series group.
Examples: Updating Group Access Information
This section includes examples of replacing a group access file, changing a group name, updating a group access file for a management IP,
and removing a stored password for a group.
Example 1: Replacing Information in a Group Access File
In this example, information in an existing group access file is replaced with new values (ASMCLI prompts for the password):
# asmcli update group-access --name eqlgroup1 --ip-address
192.0x.x.xx
# asmcli update group-access --name eqlgroup1 --user-name j_smith
Password for j_smith on eqlgroup1:
Example 2: Changing the Group Name
This example specifies the --new-name option to change the name of group sample to eqlgroup8:
# asmcli update group-access --name sample --new-name eqlgroup8
Successfully renamed group "sample" to "eqlgroup8" in file "/etc/
mycompany/asm-group-access".
Example 3: Updating the Group Access File for a Management IP
This example configures a PS Series group with a separate IP address for management. Use the --management option to specify the
management IP address:
# asmcli update group-access --name eqlgroup1 --ip-address
192.x.x.xx --management 192.x.x.xx
You can also use the update group-access command to remove the management IP address by specifying the --management
option without a value, as follows:
# asmcli update group-access --name eqlgroup1 --management
Example 4: Removing a Stored Password for a Group
In this example, Group2 has an encrypted password stored in its group access file. The --no-password option in the update
group-access command updates the stored credentials to remove the password. When you create a Smart Copy of Group2, ASMCLI
will prompt you to enter the password.
# asmcli list group-access
