Accessing the CLI

  1. Open an SSH client, such as PuTTY or OpenSSH.
  2. Enter the host name or IP address of the array.
    If you are asked to accept the authorization key, type yes.
  3. Log into the array with the username and the password you created when configuring the array.
    The connection is made and you can now run the array CLI commands. For example, typing array --list displays the name, serial, model, version, and status of the array:
    $ array --list
