Setting up VPLEX
– Another solution to long displays is to save the session output to a log file.
Over the course of setting up a dual-engine or quad-engine cluster, the log

15. Select Session in the Category list, and click Save in the PuTTY Configuration
window to save the settings for the session you configured.
16. Click Open to establish a connection to the management server, and log in with
username service and password Mi@Dim7T .
Note the following:
• If the connection fails to open, ping 128.221.252.3 (the LAN port on your
laptop) to verify intercomponent communication. If the ping is successful,
ping 128.221.252.2 (the service port on the management server).
• The default Linux shell prompt for username service is
service@ <current_working_directory> .
17. From the Linux shell prompt, type the following command:
Note: You can enter long Linux and VPlexcli commands faster by using the Linux tab
feature. If you start typing a command, pressing
Tab
at any time fills in the command
automatically, up to the point where the command might no longer be unique.
