Editing Configuration Parameters
Only one user can be in Edit mode at any time. It is advised that users Begin Edit, make changes and End Edit so as not to interfere with other users. It is possible for a user to leave IWS while still in the edit mode which leaves a subsequent user with the dilemma of choosing whether or not to log off the first user. A second user may log off the first individual without knowing if the first user is still engaged in editing or has simply forgotten to log off. At the top level you may enter e for available options and enter the selection on a separate line or if you know the option number, you can enter the selection and option with a space. After a Return the system will respond with Command Complete.
VBrick> e 1 – Displays editing status. VBrick> e 2 – Begin/End editing.
If the appliance is being edited though a different interface, you will get a Command Complete response even though you did not become the active editor. The only way you can make sure you are the active editor is when you display Editing Status and the display is admin. If the field is blank you are not the active Editor. In Edit mode Command Complete means the command has been executed. When changing other parameters, it is necessary to apply the command before the parameter will be changed in the VBrick. There are also global commands that enable editing for use when you are within the file structure.
be – Begin edit en – End edit
sh – Show editing status
Setting and Changing Parameters
When entering and changing parameters, (other than the Edit command), Command Complete indicates that the user has entered an appropriate command not that the command has been carried out. In order to initiate the change it is necessary to use Apply and it must be used at the correct Command Level. The system will then respond Command Complete, this time meaning that the command has been executed. It is necessary to enter the parameter being changed along with the entry. Don't forget that the command will not be executed until it is "applied".
