InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual The application requires free space equal to 3 times the size of the installation package. If the application cannot find enough free space on the volume, the application prompts the user for an alternate temporary location. Table 2-4.
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 2.2.5 Changing Temporary Space Location This section describes how to change the InstallAnywhere temporary space location on Windows, Solaris and Linux systems. See Table 2-5 for instructions. Table 2-5.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual Verify that all system requirements have been met. See 2.2 Meeting System Requirements on page 2.2 for specifics. CAUTION: Do not run multiple installations of the InForm OS Administration Tools at the same time. If you install or remove one or more versions of the InForm OS Administration Tools simultaneously, the procedure may fail. You have a choice between the graphical installation (default) and a character-based installation.
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 Alternatively, if you wish to add runtime options to the install (for instance, to specify the location of InstallAnywhere’s temporary directory), you must run the installation from a command window as follows: 1 Insert the InForm OS Administration Tools CD into your drive. 2 Open a command window and type the following command, followed by any runtime options: :\windows\setup.exe 2.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual 2.3.2.2 On Solaris On Solaris systems, you must start the installation manually as follows: 1 Log in as root. 2 Insert the InForm OS Administration Tools CD into your drive. 3 Start the installation using the setup.bin file as follows: NOTE: To to add runtime options to the install (for instance, to specify the location of InstallAnywhere’s temporary directory), add those options to the end of the statement in step 3.
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 2.3.3.1 On Windows It is not recommended that you use console installation on Windows systems. 2.3.3.2 On Solaris Complete the console InstallAnywhere installation of the InForm Administration Tools on Solaris as follows: 1 Insert the InForm OS Administration Tools CD into your drive. 2 Start the installation using the setup.bin file as follows: /cdrom/inform_adm_tools/solaris/setup.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual 2.4 Setting the Path to the CLI on Solaris and Linux Once the CLI has been installed on your system, the InstallAnywhere application attempts to automatically set the path to the CLI for the root user by adding an entry to your local login file. The modified file is specific to the shell that you are using during CLI installation. If InstallAnywhere is unable to modify the login file, you will need to set the path the CLI manually.

3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3.2.7 Caching Client Bytecode Client bytecode contains the majority of functionality of the InForm CLI and is version specific. The CLI caches the code required for communication for each different version of the InForm OS running on the system. The TPDCACHEDIR environment variable controls the location of the cache directory used by the CLI to determine the version of the InForm OS running on the system.

InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual 3.3 Stand-alone Commands There are two ways to issue CLI commands from a shell prompt in Solaris or from a Windows command prompt: CLI commands can be executed like typical UNIX and MS-DOS commands. If the CLI commands are run as individual commands, you are prompted for your username and password for each command. This can be avoided by setting your system to read your username and password from a file. See 3.2.
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 SSH client applications are typically provided with the following operating systems: AIX HP–UX Linux Sun™ Solaris™ For Microsoft® Windows® users, an SSH client is available at http://www.openssh.org. 3.4.1 Benefits of Using SSH SSH provides the following benefits: No InForm CLI installation. CLI clients are not required to access and use the CLI (assuming SSH client is installed). No version matching.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual 3.4.2 CLI User Name Restrictions Using SSH There are several CLI user names that are reserved for use by 3PAR®. Reserved names are as follows: root daemon bin console nobody sshd telnetd sys sync man proxy list 3.4.2.1 New Users When creating a new user, specify a new user name that is different from those listed previously. 3.4.2.2 Existing Users If you upgraded your system from InForm O.S.
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 In the previous example, a user with the reserved user name of pw1 is removed. X To create a new user, issue the createuser command. cli% createuser ROOT1 all edit In the previous example, new user ROOT1 is created. NOTE: See the 3PAR InForm OS Command Line Interface Reference for complete information about these commands. 3.4.3 Accessing the CLI Using SSH NOTE: The following screen examples display output for UNIX systems.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual When prompted to continue, enter yes. This is normal SSH behavior because the client host does not have the InServ system’s public key. If InServ system’s public key has been stored on the client host before this connection, this message will not be displayed. After you have set the key, on subsequent connections this message will not be displayed.
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3.4.4 CLI Scripting Through SSH You can use SSH key authentication to issue CLI commands in scripts. No password is required, however you will need to generate a public/private key pair. The public key must be stored on the InServ system using the setsshkey command to enable log in without a password. The private key must be kept in a file accessible by scripts that use CLI commands.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual To create a key pair using dsa format: $ ssh–keygen –b 1024 –t dsa Generating public/private dsa key pair.

The first user account must be set up on the node itself. A user class is assigned to each user that wishes to access an InServ storage system.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual NOTE: If the first user created does not have sufficient privileges to create additional users, operations are limited to what the first user can do. Therefore, it is recommended that the first user be created with superuser privileges by specifying super for your user class when issuing the createuser command. See the 3PAR InForm OS Command Line Interface Reference for additional information about the createuser command.
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 4.1.2 Viewing Users X To view a list of users, their user classes, and domain associations (if you are using domains), issue the showuser command. Refer to the InForm OS Command Line Interface Reference for details about this command. If you are using domains, users with Super level privilege can view all system users across all domains. If you belong to a specific domain, you can only view users within that particular domain.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual 4.2 Users and Domains If you are using domains your existing users can be modified in the following ways: Users can be added to a domain. Users can be removed from a domain. Users can be set to work in a default domain. Users can be set to work in a current domain. 4.2.
3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4 4.2.3 Setting a User’s Default Domain A user’s default domain is the domain that user will access upon each working CLI session. NOTE: Prior to setting a specific domain as a user’s default, the user must previously have been assigned accessibility within that domain.
InForm OS Version 2.2.4 3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual 4.3 LDAP Connection The InForm OS provides an LDAP client that can be configured to use an LDAP server for authentication and authorization of InServ Storage Server users. Currently, the only supported LDAP server implementation is Active Directory. NOTE: At the current time, support for the OpenLDAP directory implementation with the InServ Storage Server is also available, however, on a limited basis.
