This topic describes how to access the SAN File System metadata server engines through an SSH session from the command line.
Perform these steps to establish an SSH session to any of the engines in the SAN File System from the command line.
cd \Program Files\PuTTY
putty.exe –ssh engine_IP_address –I private_key_file -2
After connecting to the engine, you can access the SAN File System administrative command-line interface (CLI) to run SAN File System commands. These commands provide the ability to manage engines, metadata servers, and administrative servers.
In addition, you can perform operating system commands from the SSH session as well.
