1. Getting Started with CLI
Thank you for purchasing QSAN Technology, Inc. products. XCubeDAS XD5300 series CLI
(Command-Line Interface) are intended for system administrators, developers, or engineers
to manage the system. It provides command sets to set system settings, show SAS ports
and disk drives status, set zone configurations, show system information, download and
upgrade firmware, monitor system log, and enclosure information including system
temperature, voltage, PSU (Power Supply Unit), and fan speed.
1.1. System Requirement and Setup
The XD5300 series uses the console port as the command line interface. Please use the
console cable in the accessory box, and connect it between the controller and the
server/host. The CLI function can be accessed by using terminal emulator on a
management host that directly connected to the serial port of the XCubeDAS series.
The following procedure will help you to setup the serial console via the console cable that
is enclosed in the shipping carton. The following image is the appearance of the console
cable.
