MSA1000 CLI

Hi,

I am configuring a lot of VMware ESX systems using MSA1000 these days but I always have one problem. Since there is no access to ACU from the ESX Service Console, you are advised to set the connection name and profile for each HBA using the CLI. However, the CLI cannot address any connection called , as is the case for all new connections. Does anyone know a way around this. Up until now I've had to do it by temporarily SAN-attaching a Windows 2003 machine.

Many Thanks.

The trick is to ignore the existing connection and use the "ADD CONNECTION" command with the values from the "" one.

Thanks Uwe. I just tried that and it worked a treat,.
