Dell PowerStore Setting Up PowerStore Manager
Configure external SSH access
The SSH status for each appliance in a PowerStore cluster is displayed in PowerStore Manager under .
NOTE:For maximum appliance security, leave external SSH access disabled unless a remote service operation must be performed on an appliance. After performing the necessary service operations, disable external SSH access on the appliance to ensure that it remains secure.
For more information about SSH access, see the context-sensitive help entry for this feature in PowerStore Manager. For in-depth information about how this feature works, see the PowerStore Security Configuration Guide.
- Select the Settings icon, and then select SSH Management in the Security section.
- Select the appliances on which to enable SSH.
- Click Enable SSH.
When the SSH service is enabled, use an SSH client to connect to the IP address of the appliance.
Accessing the appliance requires service account credentials and the service account enables users to perform the following functions:
- Run specialized appliance service scripts for monitoring and troubleshooting appliance settings and operations.
- Run a limited set of commands, which are assigned as a member of a nonprivileged Linux user account in restricted shell mode. This account does not have access to proprietary system files, configuration files, or user data.
To disable SSH access, follow the same steps, but click Disable SSH instead.
