Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System CLI Reference Guide

In addition to the above local users, members of LDAP groups can also access the CLI. Local users and LDAP users can use the same set of CLI commands. Only LDAP users with the manage role can create, modify, and delete both local users and LDAP user groups. For information about enabling access by LDAP users, see create user-group.

Optional. For an SNMPv3 user, this specifies whether to use a security authentication protocol. Authentication uses the user password.

• MD5: MD5 authentication. This is the default.
• SHA: SHA-1 authentication.
• none: No authentication.

Optional. Sets the base for entry and display of storage-space sizes:

• 2: Sizes are shown as powers of 2, using 1024 as a divisor for each magnitude. In base 2 when you set a size, whether you specify a base-2 or base-10 size unit, the resulting size is in base 2
• 10: Sizes are shown as powers of 10, using 1000 as a divisor for each magnitude. In base 10 when you set a size, the resulting size is in the specified unit. This option is the default.

Operating systems usually show volume size in base 2. Disk drives usually show size in base 10. Memory (RAM and ROM) size is always shown in base 2.

Optional. Specifies the interfaces that the user can access. Multiple values must be separated by commas and no spaces.

• cli: Command-line interface. This is enabled by default.
• wbi: PowerVault Manager web-browser interface. This is enabled by default.
• ftp: FTP or SFTP interface.
• snmpuser: Allows an SNMPv3 user to view the SNMP MIB and receive SNMP trap notifications. This option requires the trap-host parameter. To use a trap destination port other than the default port, also specify the trap-port parameter.
• none: No interfaces.

A command that specifies snmpuser or snmptarget cannot also specify a non-SNMP interface. To enable or disable interface protocols, use the set protocols command.

Optional. The display language. The default is English.

Optional in console mode; required for API mode. Sets a new password for the user. Input rules:

• The value is case-sensitive.
• The value can have 8 to 32 characters..
• The value can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except: " , . < \
• A value that includes only printable ASCII characters must include at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one numeric character, and one non-alphanumeric character.

If this parameter is omitted, the command prompts you to enter and re-enter a value, which is displayed obscured for security reasons. For an SNMPv3 user whose authentication-type parameter is set to use authentication, this specifies the authentication password.

Optional. Sets the number of decimal places (1–10) for display of storage-space sizes. The default is 1.

Optional. For an SNMPv3 user whose privacy-type parameter is set to use encryption, this specifies the encryption password. Input rules:

• The value is case-sensitive.
• The value can have 8 to 32 characters.
• The value can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except: " , . < \
• A value that includes only printable ASCII characters must include at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one numeric character, and one non-alphanumeric character.

Optional. For an SNMPv3 user, this specifies whether to use a security encryption protocol. This parameter requires the privacy-password parameter and the authentication-type parameter.

• DES: Data Encryption Standard.
• AES: Advanced Encryption Standard.
• none: No encryption. This is the default.

Optional. Specifies the user roles as one or more of the following values:

• monitor: User can view but not change system settings. This is the default.
• standard: User can view and change system settings except: configuring local users; configuring LDAP; performing write operations through FTP or SFTP; performing file uploads from the PowerVault Manager; using the restore defaults command.
• manage: User can view and change system settings.
• diagnostic: For use by or with direction from technical support.

storage-size-base 2|10

Optional. Alias for base.

Optional. Alias for precision

Optional. Alias for units.

Optional. Sets the scale for display of temperature values:

• fahrenheit or f: Temperatures are shown in degrees Fahrenheit.
• celsius or c: Temperatures are shown in degrees Celsius. This is the default.

Optional. Sets the timeout value in seconds for the login session. Valid values are 120 to 43200 seconds (2–720 minutes). The default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

Optional. For an SNMPv3 user whose interface parameter is set to snmpuser , this specifies the network address of the host that receives SNMP traps. The value can be an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or FQDN.

Optional. For an SNMPv3 user, this parameter specifies the target port of the host that will receive SNMP traps. The default port is 162.

Optional. Identifies the user experience level. This parameter is informational only and does not affect access to commands. The default is standard.

Optional. Sets the unit for display of storage-space sizes.

• auto: Sizes are shown in units that are determined by the system. This is the default.
• MB: Sizes are shown in MB.
• GB: Sizes are shown in GB.
• TB: Sizes are shown in TB.

<name>

A name for the new user, which cannot already exist in the system. Input rules:

• The value is case-sensitive.
• The value can have 29 bytes.
• The value can include printable UTF-8 characters except a space or : " , < \
