Parameters [activity enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables access to the activity progress interface via HTTP port 8081. This mechanism reports whether a firmware update or partner firmware update operation is active and shows the progress through each step of the operation. In addition, when the update operation completes, status is presented indicating either the successful completion, or an error indication if the operation failed. This is disabled by default.

[debug enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables debug capabilities, including Telnet debug ports and privileged diagnostic user IDs. This is disabled by default.

NOTE:Properly shut down the debug console by using the set protocols debug disable command. Do not just close the console directly or by using the exit command.
[ftp enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables File Transfer Protocol (FTP), a secondary interface for installing firmware updates, installing security certificates and keys and downloading logs. This is disabled by default.

[http enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the standard PowerVault Manager web server. This is disabled by default.

[https enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the secure PowerVault Manager web server. This is enabled by default.

[management-mode v2|v3|linear|virtual]

Optional. Sets the default management mode for the system.

  • v2 or linear: Uses linear-storage terminology in command output and system messages. For example, vdisk for disk groups and pools.
  • v3 or virtual: Uses terminology in command output and system messages that is generalized for managing virtual and linear storage. For example, disk group for disk groups and pool for pools. This is the default.

To change the management mode for the current CLI session only, use the set cli-parameters command.

[ses enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the in-band SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) management interface. This is disabled by default.

[sftp enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), a secure secondary interface for installing firmware updates, installing security certificates and keys and downloading logs. All data sent between the client and server will be encrypted. This is enabled by default.

To set the port numbers to use for SFTP and SSH, set the sftp-port and ssh-port parameters, respectively. The port numbers must differ

[sftp-port port]

Optional. Specifies the port number to use for SFTP. The default is 1022.

[slp enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the Service Location Protocol (SLP) interface. SLP is a discovery protocol that enables computers and other devices to find services in a LAN without prior configuration. This system uses SLP v2. This is enabled by default.

SMI-S uses SLP to advertise WBEM interfaces. If SMI-S is enabled, disabling SLP will prevent WBEM interfaces from being advertised.

[smis enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the secure Storage Management Initiative Specification interface (SMI-S) interface. This option allows SMI-S clients to communicate with each embedded SMI-S provider of the controller via HTTPS port 5989. HTTPS port 5989 and HTTP port 5988 cannot be enabled at the same time, so enabling this option will disable port 5988. This is disabled by default.

SMI-S uses SLP to advertise WBEM interfaces. To use SMI-S and advertise WBEM interfaces you must enable the smis parameter and the slp parameter.

[snmp enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the Simple Network Management Protocol interface. Disabling this option disables all SNMP requests to the MIB and disables SNMP traps. To configure SNMP traps use the set snmp-parameters command. This is disabled by default.

[ssh enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the secure shell CLI. This is enabled by default.

[ssh-port port]

Optional. Specifies the port number to use for SSH. The default is 22.

[telnet enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the standard CLI. This is disabled by default.

[usmis enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional. Enables or disables the unsecure Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) interface. This option allows SMI-S clients to communicate with each controller's embedded SMI-S provider via HTTP port 5988. HTTP port 5988 and HTTPS port 5989 cannot be enabled at the same time, so enabling this option will disable port 5989. This is disabled by default.

SMI-S uses SLP to advertise WBEM interfaces. To use SMI-S and advertise WBEM interfaces you must enable the smis parameter and the slp parameter.

Examples Disable unsecure HTTP connections and enable FTP.

# set protocols http disabled ftp enabled

Enable Telnet, which is an unsecured protocol.

# set protocols telnet enabled

Set the default management mode to virtual.

# set protocols management-mode virtual

Enable SFTP and set it to use port 2020.

# set protocols sftp enabled sftp-port 2020
