Using CLI This chapter gives you an overview of the Command Line Interface (CLI). The command groups, syntax rules, and on-line help are explained. All the CLI commands and how they should be used is also described. Overview of CLI The CLI software is a terminal-based command line interface that allows you to monitor and manage the Adaptec iSA1500 Storage Array subsystem. iSCSI targets that will appear as local disk storage on your server can be created and managed. Comprehensive event logging features allow you to monitor the entire system and can be configured to notify you when certain events occur. Accessing CLI You can access CLI three ways. Each method presents CLI automatically: ■ Attach a keyboard and monitor directly to the Adaptec iSA1500 Storage Array subsystem. ■ Attach a VT100 terminal emulation utility (for example, hyperterminal) to the serial port of the Adaptec iSA1500 Storage Array subsystem. Use these terminal emulation program settings to access the CLI: ■ Null Modem Cable ■ Baud Rate:115,200 ■ Data Bits: 8 ■ Parity: None ■ Stop Bits: 1 ■ Flow Control: Off ■ Connect to the Adaptec iSA1500 Storage Array subsystem through a Telnet session (once the initial network values have been set.) Telnet to the IP address that is assigned to the Management port on the Adaptec iSA1500. 8-3
