IBM N Series - Administration Methods; Filerview Interface; Command-Line Interface

214 IBM System Storage N series Hardware Guide
16.1 Administration methods
The following methods can be used to administer an N series storage system:
򐂰 Command-line interface (CLI)
򐂰 N series System Manager
򐂰 OnCommand
16.1.1 FilerView interface
Earlier versions on the N series controllers supported a built-in web management interface
called
FilerView. This interface is still available for systems that are running ONTAP 7.3 or
earlier, but was removed in ONTAP 8.1.
To access a pre-8.1 N series through FilerView, open your browser and go to the following
URL:
http://<filername or ip-address>/na_admin
To proceed, specify a valid user name and password.
16.1.2 Command-line interface
The CLI can be accessed through Telnet or a Secure Shell (SSH) interface. Use the help
command or enter a question mark (?) to obtain an overview of available commands.
Enter help <command> for a brief description of what the command does.
Tip: By default, the FilerView interface is unencrypted. Enable the HTTP/S protocol as
soon as possible if you plan to use FilerView.
Do not use FilerView. Instead, use the CLI or OnCommand System Manager to perform
administrative tasks
