Configure Service Console Access

How to enable or disable the ClusterStor service console

Software version 3.0.0 or higher is installed.

ClusterStor's GUI-based service console interface is a useful tool in the ClusterStor RAS solution. The interface shows system issues and conditions detected by the RAS solution. The issues can be reported to users and to Cray/HPE Support via email notifications, listing system repair actions to be completed by service personnel.

By default, ClusterStor systems ship with service console login capabilities enabled. To maintain a more secure environment, system administrators may opt to restrict access to the service console, and enable logins to the interface only when a service operation needs to be performed.

Disabling the service console only restricts logins to the GUI; no other aspect of the ClusterStor RAS system is affected. A change (enable/disable action) to the service console login takes approximately 30 seconds to be completed.

  1. Enable login to the service console:
    [MGMT0]$ cscli service_console enable
  2. To disable login to the service console:
    [MGMT0]$ cscli service_console disable 
  3. Show the status of the service console (enabled or disabled):
    [MGMT0]$ cscli service_console show
