Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System CLI Reference Guide

Changes user preferences for the session or permanently. The system requires at least one CLI user with the manage role to exist.

A user with the manage role can change any parameter except name. A user with the monitor role can change any parameter for that user except name, roles, and interfaces.

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

• 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 will be in base 2.
• 10: Sizes are shown as powers of 10, using 1000 as a divisor for each magnitude. This is the default. In base 10 when you set a size, the resulting size will be 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. To remove FTP access, disable FTP
• 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 cannot also specify a non-SNMP interface. To enable or disable protocols that can be used to access interfaces, 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.

• The value is case sensitive.
• The value can have 8–32 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.

• The value is case sensitive and must contain 8–32 characters.
• A password can contain these symbols: ^ _ + : , . @
• If the password contains only printable ASCII characters then it must contain 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’s 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.

Multiple values must be separated with a comma (with no spaces). If multiple values are specified, the user’s access to commands will be determined by the highest role specified.

Optional. Specifies that the current CLI settings will become permanent settings for the user. This parameter cannot be combined with any other parameter.

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 defaul.t

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

Optional. For an SNMPv3 user whose interface parameter is set to snmptarget, this specifies the network address of the host that will receive 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’s 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 determined by the system. This is the default.
• MB: Sizes are shown in megabytes.
• GB: Sizes are shown in gigabytes.
• TB: Sizes are shown in terabytes.

Based on the precision setting, if a size is too small to meaningfully display in the selected unit, the system uses a smaller unit for that size. For example, if units is set to TB, precision is set to 1, and base is set to 10, the size 0.11709 TB is instead shown as 117.1 GB.

Specifies the user account to change. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.

# set user JDoe password Abcd_1234

# set user testsnmp authentication-type SHA password Snmp3_Trap
