System Identity Configuration

This service provides configuration for the system name, location, and an optional system login message that is displayed upon log in. You might need to change these if Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is moved to a different network location, or repurposed. You can change this data in the BUI by going to Configuration: Service: System Identity. To access the same data in the CLI, go to the configuration service identity context.

System Identity Properties and Logs

The System Identity properties are described in the following table.

Table 3-58 System Identity Properties

BUI Text CLI Property Description

System Name

nodename

A single canonical identifying name for the appliance that is shown in the user interface. This name is separate from any DNS names that are used to connect to the system (which would be configured on remote DNS servers). This name can be changed at any time.

System Location

syslocation

A text string to describe where the appliance is physically located. If SNMP is enabled, this will be exported as the syslocation string in MIB-II.

System Login Message

loginmessage

The optional system login message is configurable at any time. The message is displayed in both the BUI and the CLI. In the BUI, the message displays on the upper left of the initial login screen. Users must click the Continue button before they can log in. In the CLI, the message displays immediately above the prompt after login.

Changing services properties is documented in Setting Service Properties (BUI) and Setting Service Properties (CLI). The CLI property names are shorter versions of those listed above.

The System Identity service events log is available in system-identity:node.
