Example 1: Creating Group Access for Volumes on Multiple Groups In this example, a system uses volumes on three different PS Series groups. You need to store credentials for all three PS Series groups to use ASM/LE for all of the volumes, as follows: # asmcli create group-access --name eqlgroup1 --ip-address 192.x.x.xx --user-name j_smith # asmcli create group-access --name eqlgroup2 --ip-address 192.x.x.xy --user-name j_smith # asmcli create group-access --name eqlgroup6 --ip-address 192.x.x.xz --user-name John_Smith If the /user1 and /user2 file system mount points are built by volumes on eqlgroup1 and if the credentials you provided are valid, you can create a Smart Copy for those file systems without specifying a user name and password for the operation: # asmcli create smart-copy --source /user1 /user2 If you try to perform an ASMCLI operation that requires administrator access to a PS Series group without providing valid credentials, you will get an error. For example, if the file system mount points /AccPay and /AccRecv are on a member that is not included in the group access file, ASMCLI does not have the necessary credentials to create Smart Copies for those volumes: # asmcli create smart-copy --source /AccPay /AccRecv Error: Cannot connect to PS Array 192.x.x.xx : No group entry for that IP address in the group access file. Example 2: Specifying a Management IP Address In this example, the --management-ip option is used to create a group access file for PS Series groups that are configured with separate IP addresses for management: asmcli create group-access --name eqlgroup1 --ip-address 192.x.x.xx --management-ip eqlmgmt1.mycompany.com --user-name j_smith Password for j_smith on eqlgroup4: Example 3: Managing Multiple Identities It might be necessary to use different credentials for different ASM/LE operations. You can manage multiple identities in two ways: 58 Auto-Snapshot Manager Command Line Interface

Parameter
Abbr.
Argument
Description
--name
-n
group-name
Specifies the name of the PS Series group.
--user-name
-u
user-name
Specifies the user name on the PS Series group.
Optional Parameters
--file
-f
file-location
Specifies the location of the group access file.

--no-password
none
none
Specifies not to store a password for this user. If you use this
option, you will be prompted to enter a password each time an
ASMCLI command is run (for example,
create smart-

) and you are not able to run a scheduled operation.
--password
-p
password
Specifies the password to be encrypted and stored.
Examples: Creating Group Access
This section includes examples of creating group access records.
Example 1: Creating Group Access for Volumes on Multiple Groups
In this example, a system uses volumes on three different PS Series groups. You need to store credentials for all three PS Series groups to
use ASM/LE for all of the volumes, as follows:
# asmcli create group-access
--name eqlgroup1 --ip-address
192.x.x.xx
--user-name j_smith
# asmcli create group-access --name eqlgroup2 --ip-address
192.x.x.xy --user-name j_smith
# asmcli create group-access --name eqlgroup6 --ip-address
192.x.x.xz
--user-name John_Smith
If the
/user1
and
/user2
file system mount points are built by volumes on eqlgroup1 and if the credentials you provided are valid, you
can create a Smart Copy for those file systems without specifying a user name and password for the operation:
# asmcli create smart-copy --source /user1 /user2
If you try to perform an ASMCLI operation that requires administrator access to a PS Series group without providing valid credentials, you
will get an error. For example, if the file system mount points
/AccPay
and
/AccRecv
are on a member that is not included in the group
access file, ASMCLI does not have the necessary credentials to create Smart Copies for those volumes:
# asmcli create smart-copy --source /AccPay /AccRecv
Error: Cannot connect to PS Array 192.x.x.xx : No group entry for that IP address in the
group access file.
Example 2: Specifying a Management IP Address
In this example, the
--management-ip
option is used to create a group access file for PS Series groups that are configured with
separate IP addresses for management:
asmcli create group-access --name eqlgroup1 --ip-address
192.x.x.xx --management-ip eqlmgmt1.mycompany.com
--user-name j_smith
Password for j_smith on eqlgroup4:
Example 3: Managing Multiple Identities
It might be necessary to use different credentials for different ASM/LE operations. You can manage multiple identities in two ways:
