Management interfaces
Cluster operations are managed through the X9000 Software management console, which provides
both a GUI and a CLI. Most operations can be performed from either the GUI or the CLI. However,
the following operations can be performed only from the CLI:
• SNMP configuration (ibrix_snmpagent, ibrix_snmpgroup, ibrix_snmptrap, ibrix_sn-
mpuser, ibrix_snmpview)
• Health checks (ibrix_haconfig, ibrix_health, ibrix_healthconfig)
• Raw storage management (ibrix_pv, ibrix_vg, ibrix_lv)
• Management console operations (ibrix_fm) and management console tuning (ibrix_fm_tune)
• File system checks (ibrix_fsck)
• Kernel profiling (ibrix_profile)
• NFS autoconnection (ibrix_autoconnect)
• Cluster configuration (ibrix_clusterconfig)
• Configuration database consistency (ibrix_dbck)
• Shell task management (ibrix_shell)
Using the GUI
The GUI is a browser-based interface to the management console. See the release notes for the
supported browsers and other software required to view charts on the dashboard.
If you are using HTTP to access the GUI, navigate to the following location, specifying port 80:
http://<management_console_IP>:80/fusion
If you are using HTTPS to access the GUI, navigate to the following location, specifying port 443:
https://<management_console_IP>:443/fusion
In these URLs, <management_console_IP> is the IP address of the management console user VIF.
The GUI prompts for your user name and password. The default administrative user is ibrix. Enter the
password that was assigned to this user when the system was installed. (You can change the password
using the Linux passwd command.) To allow other users to access the GUI, see “Adding user accounts
for GUI access” on page 18.
