Management server database
You can use the msConfigure command to control access to the management server database.
An access control list (ACL) of WWN addresses determines which systems have access to the management
server database. The ACL typically contains those WWNs of host systems that are running management
applications.
If the list is empty (the default), the management server is accessible to all systems connected in-band to the
fabric. For more access security, you can specify WWNs in the ACL so that access to the management
server is restricted only to those WWNs listed.
NOTE: The management server is Logical-Switch-capable. All management server features are supported
within a Logical Switch.
Displaying the management server ACL
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the msConfigure command.
The command becomes interactive.
3. At the select prompt, enter 1 to display the access list.
A list of WWNs that have access to the management server is displayed.
