SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface

4.1Command Usage and

Syntax

This chapter explains how to use the commands supported by the SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface (SDM-CLI) with the LSISAS6160 SAS switch. SDM-CLI can be accessed using a telnet client.

SDM-CLI has powerful, flexible commands that allow you to manage the host switch, and other switches or expanders within the domain in which the host switch resides.

To start the embedded SDM-CLI, open a telnet session to the switch’s IP address or host name. You will be prompted to login.

The syntax for CLI commands is as follows:

command [arguments]

In this syntax,[arguments] may consist of any combination of the following:

[optional]: Optional argument

(ab): Choose between a or b

<string>: User-supplied value or string

SDM does not allow spaces in file names and paths, even if the operating system allows them. All user-supplied names (domains, aliases, zone groups, zone sets, etc.) are case sensitive.

Use the up and down arrow keys to access a small command history buffer. Use the left and right arrow keys to edit commands.

SDM-CLI provides two accounts that control access and privileges: user and admin.

The user account permits you to view the domain topology, configuration, and operating environment. The default password is user.

The admin account permits you to view domain information. It also grants permission to use commands that may change the configuration of the domain or of managed devices within the domain. The default password is admin.

The LSISAS6160 zone manager is handled separately. Its default password is lynx.
