5. Change Password is used to enter a new password. There will be verification to
test if this has been successfully completed or not. For security reasons, the password
can only be changed through the serial port. It cannot be changed through a telnet
connection over the Ethernet.
The password can be set to null (that is, a carriage return) or an alphanumeric
password can be used with up to eight characters. The space cannot be part of the
password as it is used to separate the first and second copies of the new password.
NOTE: If the new password is forgotten, contact your network administrator. You will need the
unit’s serial number and Ethernet MAC address.
Accessing the CLI
Select option 4. Command line interface on the main menu, to call up the command
line interface. This gives the user the ability to change parameters. These parameters
should only be modified by a knowledgeable user in order to modify the MSA
Switch operational parameters, to set up policies, as well as to troubleshoot problems.
The complete Command Line Interface is outlined in Appendix C, “Command Line
Interface.”
Exiting the Text-based UI
The user can log out of the MSA Switch by selecting option 5. Logout in the main
menu. The original login prompt is redisplayed.
Resetting the Switch
Select option 6. Reset Switch in the main menu to reboot the switch. This should not
be done in a haphazard manner as all Fibre Channel connections provided by the
switch can be affected and any management data stored in the switch will be erased.
