Preparing for SDC authentication

Prerequisites

You will need the following information:
  • Primary and secondary MDM IP address
  • PowerFlex cluster credentials

Steps

  1. Log in to the primary MDM.
  2. Authenticate against the PowerFlex cluster using the credentials provided.
  3. List and record all connected SDCs (either NAME, GUID, ID, or IP), type: scli --query_all_sdc.
  4. For each SDC in your list, use the identifier you recorded to generate and record a CHAP secret, type: scli --generate_sdc_password --sdc_IP (or NAME, GUID, or ID) --reason "CHAP setup".
    NOTE:This secret is specific to that SDC and cannot be reused for subsequent SDC entries.

    For example, scli --generate_sdc_password --sdc_IP 172.16.151.36 --reason "CHAP setup"

    Example output: 

    [root@svm1 ~]# scli
--generate_sdc_password --sdc_ip 172.16.151.36 --reason "CHAP
setup"
Successfully generated SDC with
IP 172.16.151.36 password:
