connect
Description This command establishes a session to manage a specified disk array. This has to be done before
doing any disk array-related operations.
If the CLI is started with the -f option and the connect command is in the batch file, this command
keeps trying to connect until it establishes a session or until it times out, whichever is earlier. If you
execute this command from the CLI prompt, you can see immediately if the connection is successful.
You can access only one disk array at a time through a CLI session. If want to access another disk
array, you must first disconnect from the current disk array and connect to the next one.
Only users with access to the full array can connect to the array with the CLI.
Syntax connect [-r] <array_serial_number>
Arguments [-r]
Connects the user in read-only mode if the user has modify privilege.
<array_serial_number>
The serial number of the disk array to which you want to connect.
Example
connect 30433
connect -r 30433
