Goal

The firmware interactive menu for Sun Storage 3000 arrays is often accessed by telnet or by direct connection of a serial cable to the array. SSH is a better, more secure method of access.

This document provides instructions to configure communication parameters needed to establish an SSH session with the firmware interactive menu.

Solution

1. Setup Ethernet communication with the array

   Refer to Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual section "Establishing Communications With An Array".

2. Enable SSH protocol.

   • Enable SSH protocol using  firmware menu. 

     "From the Main Menu, choose “view and edit Configuration parameters → Communication Parameters → Network Protocol Support → SSH → Enable SSH? → Yes"

     Refer to Sun StorEdge™ 3000 Family RAID Firmware 4.2x User’s Guide section "Network Protocol Support".

   • Enable SSH protocol using sccli utility.

     sscli <array ip address> set protocol SSH enabled

     Refer to Sun StorEdge 3000 Family CLI 2.5 User’s Guide for more details.

3. Set/Edit array controller-name attribute.

   SSH session requires user name to be provided. When connecting to  StorEdge 3000 Firmware Menu,  controller-name attribute should be used as user name.

   If no contorller-name set, set it using firmware menu or sccli.
   

   • View controller-name uing sccli utility.

     sscli <array ip address> show controller-name

   • Set controller-name ( if not set ) using sccli utility.

     sscli <array ip address> set controller-name controller-name

     Refer to Sun StorEdge 3000 Family CLI 2.5 User’s Guide for more details.

   • View or edit controller-name using firmware menu

     From the Main Menu, choose “view and edit Configuration parameters → Controller Parameters → Controller Name” to name or rename the controller.

     Refer to Sun StorEdge™ 3000 Family RAID Firmware 4.2x User’s Guide section "Configuring a Controller Name".

   
   
   
   Following restrictions apply when setting controller name:
   

   • Unicode characters should not be used.
   • Non printable and blank characters should not be used. Spaces should be avoided
   • The controller password and controller name share a 32-character space; therefore total length  of controller name and password must not be greater than 32 characters

4. Using ssh client establish communication with the array.

   Use controller-name as the login name when ssh communication is established.

   ssh -l <controller-name> <array ip address>

   Above example uses Linux OpenSSH client. Please refer to your SSH client manual for instructions how to provide user name to establish SSH session.
