DESCRIPTION

To enable the Oracle FS System clients, such as the Oracle FS CLI and the Oracle FS System Manager GUI, access to the system over a network, perform the following actions:

Indicate whether the Oracle FS System uses DHCP to acquire a dynamic IP address.
If a static IP address is used instead, assign a public IP address and a subnet mask to the Oracle FS System.
If a DNS service is used, provide the IP addresses for the DNS server and, optionally, up to two backup DNS servers.
Assign an IP address, a subnet mask, and a gateway route to the management interface of both Pilot nodes.

Caution

The duplex system variable sets the speed and duplex requirements for the Oracle FS System. Do not change the default value unless you are connecting to a switch that is known to have problems with auto-negotiation. Manually setting the duplex to an incompatible speed or duplex setting could cause the Oracle FS System to become unreachable on your network.

Note: Administrators with primary administrator or admin1 roles are authorized to run the system -network command.

OPTIONS

‑disableDhcp

Disables the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

‑duplex

Sets the speed requirements and the duplex requirements for the Oracle FS System. The default value is auto.

Important! Do not change the default value unless you are connecting to a switch that is known to have problems with auto-negotiation. Manually setting the duplex to an incompatible speed can cause the Oracle FS System to become unreachable on your network.

Valid options:

auto – Determined by the Oracle FS System.
100f – Full 100 Mbps
1000f – Full 1000 Mbps
10fGig– Full 10 Gbps

‑enableDhcp

Specifies whether the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled. The DHCP protocol can be enabled for the public management interface only.

‑gateway

Assigns the IP address of the gateway network node in the subnetwork of which the Oracle FS System (the Pilot) is a member.

‑ip

Identifies the public or the shared IP address that is assigned to the Pilot. This IP address is what the administrator uses to access the Oracle FS System over the management interface.

‑nameServer

Identifies the IP addresses of the Domain Name Servers (DNS) that are used by the Pilot to resolve the IP addresses in an ordered comma separated list, starting with the primary server.

‑netmask

Specifies the subnetwork mask for the static IP address that is permanently assigned to the Oracle FS System.

‑pilot1Ip

Specifies the static IP address that is assigned to Pilot 1.

‑pilot2Ip

Specifies the static IP address that is assigned to Pilot 2.

GLOBAL OPTIONS FOR SUBCOMMANDS

The following global options can be used for fscli command-subcommand pairs that do not include other command-line options:

‑help: Returns the context-sensitive help for the specified subcommand.
‑usage: Returns the subcommand syntax for the given command, including all of the options that are available for the command-subcommand pair.

GLOBAL OPTIONS FOR COMMANDS

The following global options can be used for fully formed fscli commands:

‑example

Returns sample output from the specified command.

Note: To see the output in XML format, include the ‑o xml option.

‑timeout timeout-in-seconds

Specifies the length of time (timeout-in-seconds) that the command line interface waits before another command is allowed to run. If the command takes longer to run than the specified time limit, the system continues processing the command, but the command prompt is made available so that you can issue another command. If the -timeout option is omitted, the command line interface blocks until the one of the following conditions is met:

The command completes successfully.
The command returns with an error.
The session times out.

Note: Be sure to check the state of the system after initiating a long running command with the ‑timeout option. Many fscli commands run a series of underlying commands in sequence. When the timeout value is reached before all of the underlying commands have completed, the fscli command does not complete with the outstanding tasks reporting a failure status.

‑outputformat | ‑o { text | xml }: Controls the type of the output the system returns from a command. If the ‑outputformat option is not included, the format of the output defaults to simple text. If xml is provided, the output is a collection of XML elements.
Note: For XML output, if internal errors occur during command execution, each error is included in a separate <ErrorList> tag.

‑verify: Inspects the validity of the command syntax, not the semantics. Used to test the structure of a command without running the command. Does not determine whether errors would be produced if you issue a structurally correct command with the input provided.
‑sessionkey: Directs the CLI to prompt you to supply a session key when you issue the command. The CLI displays Sessionkey: as the prompt. To obtain a session key, log in with the ‑returnKey option specified. After the session is established, the session key is displayed in STDOUT. If you request a session key, the ‑sessionkey option is required syntax for all commands that are issued in a given session. In environments with more than one Oracle FS System, the session key is used to determine to which Oracle FS System to direct the command for validation. Session keys are also used to establish two or more CLI sessions when using a shared administrator account.
‑u admin-user ‑oracleFS oracle‑fs-system: Routes the command to a particular Oracle FS System for execution. This option passes the name of the administrator account to use when opening the session on the specified system. Identify a specific Oracle FS System by its IP address or by the name that is recorded in the domain name system (DNS). When logging in to the Oracle FS System using the ‑u option and the ‑oracleFS option, the fscli application prompts you for a password on the command line interface for access. The Oracle FS System and the account login information are used to authenticate the current session. Establishing a login session by specifying an Oracle FS System and an account does not change the credentials that are associated with the active sessions that are running on other clients.
Caution
Oracle recommends that you not use the Cygwin command line interface to run the fscli application on Windows platforms. If you are running the Cygwin interface and include the ‑u option as a part of the ‑list subcommand, the password for the specified account is included in the results. Exposing the password can cause a breach in security.
