8. Highlight the new session and click Open to connect to the IBM Flex System V7000
Storage Node. A PuTTY Security Alert opens; confirm it by clicking Yes (Figure A-15).

9. PuTTY now connects to the system and prompts you for a user name. Enter admin as the
user name and press Enter (Example A-1).
Example: A-1 Enter user name
login as: admin

You have now completed the tasks that are required to configure the CLI for IBM Flex System
V7000 Storage Node administration.
Example commands
A detailed description about all the available commands is beyond the intended scope of this
book. In this section are sample commands that we have referenced in this book.
With earlier releases of the IBM SAN Virtual Controller and the IBM Storwize V7000, there
were prefixes required to run CLI commands; they were svcinfo and svctask and are no
longer needed in IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node. If you have scripts from those
platforms that use these prefixes, they run without problems. If you type svcinfo or svctask
and press the Tab key twice, all the available subcommands are listed for those prefixes.
Pressing the Tab key twice also auto-completes commands if the input is valid and unique to
the system.
Enter lsvdisk, as shown in Example A-2, to list all configured volumes on the system. The
example shows that three volumes are configured.
Example: A-2 List all volumes

Note: When creating a public and private key with Putty and decide to use a passphrase
with the key, you will be prompted for that passphrase as shown in Example A-1.
