Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System CLI Reference Guide

Accessing the CLI

The CLI software that is embedded in the controller modules enables you to manage and monitor storage-system operation. You can access the CLI in two ways:

• Use secure protocols HTTPS or SSH on a management host that is remotely connected through a LAN to a controller module network port. Using insecure protocols HTTP and Telnet is also supported but not recommended.
• Use a terminal emulator on a management host that is directly connected to a controller module management serial port.

For information about accessing the CLI and obtaining IP values for storage system management, see the Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System Deployment Guide.
