The MUA feature was introduced in Fabric OS 3.2.0 and 4.4.0. The switchAdmin role can log in;
however, the role is restricted to user-level, observation-based functions.
NOTE: The admin access level has access to all the commands needed to manage and configure a
switch or fabric. The admin account is the recommended login level.
Using the Fabric OS command line interface
The Fabric OS command line interface (accessed through either telnet or serial console) provides an
administrator with full management capability on an HP StorageWorks switch or a Brocade 4Gb SAN
Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem switch. The Fabric OS CLI enables an administrator to monitor and
manage entire fabrics, individual switches, and ports from a standard workstation. The entire suite of
Fabric OS features and capabilities is available across an entire fabric, from a single access point.
Selected commands must be issued from a sectelnet or SSH session, as indicated in the command
description in this guide.
Access to the CLI is controlled by a switch-level password for each access level. The commands available
through the CLI are based on the user’s login level or role and the license keys used to unlock certain
features.
Fabric OS CLI is the complete fabric management tool for HP StorageWorks SAN switches and a
Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem, providing:
• access to the full range of Fabric OS features, based on which license keys you purchase.
• assistance with configuration, monitoring, dynamic provisioning, and daily management of every
aspect of storage area networks.
• a deeper view of the tasks involved in managing an HP StorageWorks switch or director.
• configuration and management of the HP StorageWorks fabric on multiple levels.
