Using the Access Appliance shell menu
The Access Appliance shell menu provides a menu-based interactive shell interface through which an administrator can manage the Veritas Access Appliance. The interface is made up of hierarchical views that contain the administrative commands and options. When you log onto the Access Appliance shell menu, the Main_Menu view is displayed.
access-cluster_01.Main_Menu> Appliance Access Appliance node configuration. Exit Logout and exit from the current shell. Manage Manage Access Appliance node. Monitor Monitor appliance activities. Network Network Administration. Settings Change appliance settings. Shell Shell operations. Support Appliance Support.
To navigate to sub-views or execute available commands, type the name of the option you want from the list of available options. For example, from the Main_Menu view, type Manage and press Enter to go to the Manage view.
The following list contains some helpful tips for using the Access Appliance shell menu:
Press Tab or Enter to auto-complete a command.
Press the spacebar key to display the next parameter that needs to be entered.
Type a question mark (?) to show more information about the commands or sub-views that are available in the current view. If you type ? after you enter a command or option, more information about that command is shown, such as the format and usage of the command parameters.
When you press the Enter key, the next mandatory parameter that needs to be entered is displayed. A mandatory parameter is one that does not have predefined values.
Command parameters that are in angular brackets (< >) are mandatory; whereas the command parameters that are in square brackets ([ ]) are optional.
For example, from the Main_Menu > Settings > Alerts view, the following command has one mandatory parameter and two optional parameters:
Email SMTP Add <Server> [Account] [Password]
Where <Server> is the mandatory SMTP server address, and [Account] and [Password] are the optional account credentials if the SMTP server requires them.
In the Veritas Access Appliance shell menu, use the command Return to go back to the previous menu, and use the command Exit to logout and exit from the current shell. In the Veritas Access command-line interface, use the command Exit to go back to the previous menu, and use the command Logout to logout and exit from the current shell.
