NOTE:

When using SSH, Telnet, or the HP Storage Management Utility (SMU) to connect to the

MSA1510i management port, you are required to log on. The factory default settings for

username and password are both

change the username and password from the CLI, use the

set management_login

command.

Accessing the CLI through a serial connection

Any terminal emulator program may be used to access the CLI, but the following instructions describe

using Windows HyperTerminal.

From the front of the MSA, connect one end of the custom serial cable (included in the shipping

carton of the MSA) to the serial port of the host computer. Connect the other end to the RJ-45Z

adapter on an MSA controller.

NOTE:

In dual-controller configurations, tasks can be performed through either MSA controller.

NOTE:

An additional or replacement custom serial cable can be ordered using part number
