Adding user accounts for GUI access
X9000 Software supports administrative and user roles. When users log in under the administrative
role, they can configure the cluster and initiate operations such as remote replication or snapshots.
When users log in under the user role, they can view the cluster configuration and status, but cannot
make configuration changes or initiate operations. The default administrative user name is
ibrix
.
The default regular username is
ibrixuser
.
Usernames for the administrative and user roles are defined in the
/etc/group
file. Administrative
users are specified in the
ibrix-admin
group, and regular users are specified in the
ibrix-user
group. These groups are created when X9000 Software is installed. The following entries in the
/etc/group
file show the default users in these groups:
ibrix-admin:x:501:root,ibrix
ibrix-user:x:502:ibrix,ibrixUser,ibrixuser
You can add other users to these groups as needed, using Linux procedures.
Using the CLI
The administrative commands described in this guide must be executed on the management console
host and require root privileges. The commands are located in
$IBRIXHOME⁄bin
. For complete
information about the commands, see the HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software CLI
Reference Guide.
When using
ssh
to access the machine hosting the management console, specify the IP address
of the management console user VIF.
Starting the array management software
Depending on the array type, you can launch the array management software from the management
console GUI. In the Navigator, select
Vendor Storage
, select your array from the Vendor Storage
page, and click
Launch Storage Management
.
X9000 client interfaces
X9000 clients can access the management console as follows:
•
Linux clients.
Linux client commands can be used for tasks such as mounting or unmounting
file systems and displaying statistics. See the HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software
CLI Reference Guide for details about these commands.
•
Windows clients.
The Windows client GUI can be used for tasks such as mounting or
unmounting file systems and registering Windows clients.
Using the Windows X9000 client GUI
The Windows X9000 client GUI is the client interface to the management console. To open the
GUI, double-click the desktop icon or select the IBRIX Client program from the Start menu on the
client. The client program contains tabs organized by function.
