LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 4: SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface | Command Usage and Syntax
Chapter 4
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.
4.1 Command Usage and
Syntax
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
„ (a|b): 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.
