Management server database

Management server database
You can control access to the management server database.
An access control list (ACL) of WWN addresses determines which systems have access to the
management server database. The ACL typically contains those WWNs of host systems that are
running management applications.
If the list is empty (the default), the management server is accessible to all systems connected
in-band to the fabric. For more access security, you can specify WWNs in the ACL so that access to
the management server is restricted to only those WWNs listed.
NOTE
The management server is logical switch-capable. All management server features are supported
within a logical switch.
Displaying the management server ACL
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the msConfigure command.
The command becomes interactive.
3. At the “select” prompt, enter 1 to display the access list.
A list of WWNs that have access to the management server is displayed.

Adding a member to the ACL
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the msConfigure command.
The command becomes interactive.
3. At the “select” prompt, enter 2 to add a member based on its port/node WWN.
4. At the “Port/Node WWN” prompt, enter the WWN of the host to be added to the ACL.
5. At the “select” prompt, enter 1 to display the access list so you can verify that the WWN you
entered was added to the ACL.
