You can access a storage system to administer it by using a serial console or through a NIC installed in the storage system.
These are the methods you can use, and no licenses are required:
- From a console that is attached by a cable to the storage system’s serial port
- From the Ethernet network interface card (NIC) that is preinstalled in the storage system. Use this card to connect to a TCP/IP network to administer the storage system:
- From any client by using a Telnet session
- From any client by using a Remote Shell connection
- From any client by using a Web browser and the FilerView interface
- From any client by using a secure shell client application, such as SSH, OpenSSH for UNIX hosts or PuTTY for Windows hosts (required for connecting the host to storage systems with an RLM or a BMC)
