6.0 HP X9320 Network Storage System Administrator Guide (AW542-96009, December 2011)

Adding user accounts for GUI access
X9000 Software supports administrative and user roles. When users log in under the administrative
role, they can configure the cluster and initiate operations such as remote replication or snapshots.
When users log in under the user role, they can view the cluster configuration and status, but cannot
make configuration changes or initiate operations. The default administrative user name is ibrix.
The default regular username is ibrixuser.
Usernames for the administrative and user roles are defined in the /etc/group file. Administrative
users are specified in the ibrix-admin group, and regular users are specified in the ibrix-user
group. These groups are created when X9000 Software is installed. The following entries in the
/etc/group file show the default users in these groups:
ibrix-admin:x:501:root,ibrix
ibrix-user:x:502:ibrix,ibrixUser,ibrixuser
You can add other users to these groups as needed, using Linux procedures.
Using the CLI
The administrative commands described in this guide must be executed on the management console
host and require root privileges. The commands are located in $IBRIXHOME⁄bin. For complete
information about the commands, see the HP X9000 File Serving Software CLI Reference Guide.
When using ssh to access the machine hosting the management console, specify the IP address
of the management console user VIF.
Starting the array management software
Depending on the array type, you can launch the array management software from the management
console GUI. In the Navigator, select Vendor Storage, select your array from the Vendor Storage
page, and click Launch Storage Management.
X9000 client interfaces
Linux X9000 client commands can be used for tasks such as mounting or unmounting file systems
and displaying statistics. See the HP X9000 File Serving Software CLI Reference Guide for details
about these commands.
X9000 Software manpages
X9000 Software provides manpages for most of its commands. To view the manpages, set the
MANPATH variable on the management console to include the path to the manpages and then
export it. The manpages are in the $IBRIXHOME/man directory. For example, if $IBRIXHOME is
/usr/local/ibrix (the default), you would set the MANPATH variable as follows on the
management console and then export the variable.
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/ibrix/man
Changing passwords
You may want to change the passwords on your system:
• Hardware passwords. See the documentation for the specific hardware for more information.
• Root password. Use the passwd(8) command on each server in turn.
• X9000 Software user password. This password is created during installation and is used to
log on to the management console GUI. The default is ibrix. You can change the password
on the management console using the Linux passwd command. You will be prompted to enter
the new password.
# passwd ibrix
