You can configure an MSA2000 system through the Storage Management Utility (SMU), which is a web server on each controller, or with the command-line interface (CLI).
To access the MSA2000 system initially you can go through either a serial interface or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can also configure user access and privileges.
The SMU is a web-based GUI that runs on each controller that is accessible through the IP address of each controller. All management and monitoring tasks can be completed on each controller.
The CLI is accessible through Secure Shell (SSH), Telnet, and serial port. The CLI includes all functionality that is available in the GUI.
