FlashSystem™ user interfaces

You can configure an FlashSystem™ storage system by using either the FlashSystem™ storage management GUI or the command-line interface (CLI).

Both interfaces use the same design as the system. The LUNs are provisioned from FlashSystem™ as volumes and appear as MDisks on the system. The system then uses the MDisks either as LUNs to make storage pools and provision volumes to hosts or with tiering options.

FlashSystem™management GUI

You can configure the management GUI through a web browser.

FlashSystem™ CLI

To access the CLI, you need a valid SSH key that is assigned to the user. After you obtain the SSH key, create a user and specify the SSH key in the management GUI by selecting Access > Users. Create a suitable user and add its SSH public key. To add a key to the superuser, right-click superuser, select Properties and add the SSH public key.
