35F through the serial, Telnet, and web management
interfaces. The selected menu and the firmware version currently executing will be displayed. Menu items are selected
by entering the number of the menu desired, and exited by entering an ‘X’. In general, the configuration options
present in the serial interface correspond to those available through SNMP and Telnet.
NOTE: Menus are not case sensitive. You can enter uppercase and lowercase characters interchangeably when
selecting from menus.
The PowerVault 35F Configuration Program allows the user to control many configuration settings through the
PowerVault 35F serial interface. Among these are:
Baud rate of the serial port
Fibre Channel address
SCSI initiator and target IDs
Ethernet IP and MAC addresses
Fibre Channel-to-SCSI mapping
SCSI-to-Fibre Channel mapping
Trace level settings
Configuration settings may be changed and saved.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all configuration options set do not take effect until the next boot cycle of the
PowerVault 35F unit.
