1 Command Line Interface Overview The NAS cluster solution Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a convenient way to manage the NAS cluster solution. It can be used to configure subsystems, manage administrative users, enable licensed features, and to monitor the system. The CLI contains a set of commands to view, edit, add, delete, enable, disable, and set NAS cluster solution entities, such as exports, shares, volumes, and accounts. From the CLI, you can enter a specific menu and then execute its commands, as required. The following commands are available throughout the system: • help-lists the currently available menus or commands. At any moment while using the CLI, you can either type help or type ? to see the available options/menus. • back-moves back one level in the menus hierarchy. • main-returns to the main menu. • exit-exits the NAS cluster solution CLI. Accessing The CLI To access the CLI from an administrator workstation, use an SSH client, and connect to the NAS Management VIP address you specified during cluster setup. In a Linux prompt, run the command: ssh admin@. A Welcome window is displayed, listing the installed software version and the available commands in the top level menu. NOTE: Tab completion is available: type the first few characters of the command or menu name and press the . The name is completed to the longest unambiguous sub-string.

Command Line Interface
Overview
The NAS cluster solution Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a convenient way to manage the NAS cluster solution.
It can be used to configure subsystems, manage administrative users, enable licensed features, and to monitor the
system. The CLI contains a set of commands to view, edit, add, delete, enable, disable, and set NAS cluster solution
entities, such as exports, shares, volumes, and accounts.
From the CLI, you can enter a specific menu and then execute its commands, as required. The following commands are
available throughout the system:
•
help
—lists the currently available menus or commands. At any moment while using the CLI, you can either type
help
or type
?
to see the available options/menus.
•
back
—moves back one level in the menus hierarchy.
•
main
—returns to the main menu.
•
exit
—exits the NAS cluster solution CLI.
Accessing The CLI
To access the CLI from an administrator workstation, use an SSH client, and connect to the NAS Management VIP
address you specified during cluster setup.
In a Linux prompt, run the command:
ssh admin@<ipaddress>
.
A
Welcome
window is displayed, listing the installed software version and the available commands in the top level
menu.
NOTE:
Tab completion is available: type the first few characters of the command or menu name and press the
<Tab>. The name is completed to the longest unambiguous sub-string. Press the <Tab> again to see the available
commands beginning with the given string.
For example, to access a system that was defined with a NAS Management VIP of 10.10.1.200:
The authenticity of host '10.10.1.200 (10.10.1.200)’ can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is:
1b:13:7c:9d:12:e2:74:69:4e:8c:93:75:1a:93:94:b5.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting
(yes/no)? yes
