HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.0.0 Command Reference Guide (AA-RW1MA-TE, May 2005)

Fabric OS 5.0.0 command reference guide 19
• identification, isolation, and management of SAN events across every switch in the fabric.
• management switch licenses.
The rest of this guide describes each CLI command, including a synopsis of its syntax, the users to whom
it is available, and a description of command use and behavior. The same information is available to you
on your HP StorageWorks switch or director or Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem,
using the help command. For example, to display the help or man page for aliAdd, enter:
switch:admin> help aliadd
Fabric OS 5.0.0 supports the following new commands:
• enclosureShow
• fabricLog
• fabStateResize
• fcPing
Use the help command to display detailed information for these commands.
Understanding access levels
There are four levels of access for a StorageWorks switch or director:
• root
• factory
• admin
• user
Not all commands are available to all access levels. Root level has access to all commands. However,
use root and factory levels with caution, as these levels are reserved for support and manufacturing
personnel. The user level has limited access to commands. This manual lists all the commands available to
the user- and admin-level logins.
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.
In HP Fabric OS v3.x and earlier, multiple-user access to a switch is limited. Each switch enables only a
single session per access method, regardless of the user’s access level. Switches can, however, be
accessed simultaneously from different connections: for example, through the CLI and HP Advanced Web
Tools. If this happens, changes from one connection might not be updated to the other, and some
changes might be lost. When you connect using simultaneous multiple connections, ensure that you do
not overwrite the work of another connection.
