Working from a CLI
The BladeManager allows you to use a command line interface (CLI) as an
alternative to the web interface. You may use Linux or Windows-based secure
shell (SSH) client. The same restrictions to the web management interface
apply to the CLI.
>> Logging In
1. To connect to the BladeManager, enter the following shell commands:
Note: The “ l ” in ssh-1 is the alphabet “l” as in lemon ).
2. If you are an administrator, the system will display a menu.
You can either run the console shell from the menu
- OR -
Go directly to the system prompt.
See the sample print of a CLI session at the end of this chapter. If you are a
regular user, you will get the console shell alone, without a menu or system
prompt.
