HP-IB> enable

HP-IB#

3.Enter the global-configuration mode.

HP-IB# configure HP-IB(config)#

4.Enter the username command with the name of the user, the privilege keyword, and the privileges to assign this user. For example:

HP-IB(config)# username ib-admin privilege ib-rw ip-ethernet-ro fc-rw

In the example above, ib-adminis the name of the user account, privilege is a mandatory keyword, and ib-rw, ip-ethernet-ro, and fc-rware access privileges.

NOTE: When you change a user’s privileges, all the old privileges are removed and replaced with the new privilege(s). If the user had multiple privileges, include the other privileges on the command line when you make the change. Privileges are order-dependent. Enter them in the same order as shown in the table above.

Example

The following example gives a user read-write access to InfiniBand and Ethernet configuration commands.

Login: super

Password: xxxx HP-IB> enable HP-IB# configure

HP-IB(config)# username IB_admin privilege ib-rw ip-ethernet-rw fc-ro HP-IB(config)# exit

HP-IB# show user IB_admin

Setting the System Clock

Maintaining accurate time is important for statistics and auditing. The system chassis provides an on-board system clock to save the time settings across reboots. Time is maintained in one of two ways:

•An on-board system clock

•External NTP servers

Time is set at the factory, and can be manually set. To ensure accurate synchronization, it is recommended to use an external NTP server. This enables logs to be synchronized with other management systems.

Time or NTP servers may be configured in the CLI. In the CLI, time may be set manually using the clock command and NTP servers may be specified using the ntp command. This section describes these methods.
