5. Press y to confirm deactivation.
Controlling access
You can use the msConfigure command to control access to the management server database.
An access control list (ACL) of WWN addresses determines which systems have access to the management
server database. The ACL typically contains those WWNs of host systems that are running management
applications.
If the list is empty (the default), the management server is accessible to all systems connected in-band to the
fabric. For more access security, you can specify WWNs in the ACL so that access to the management
server is restricted to only those WWNs listed.
The ACL is switch-based. Therefore, only hosts that are connected directly to the switch are affected by the
ACL. A host that is somewhere else in the fabric and is connected to a switch with an empty ACL is allowed
to access the management server.
NOTE: The msConfigure command is disabled if the switch is in secure mode. Refer to the Secure
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
for more information.
To display the management server ACL
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the msConfigure command.
The command becomes interactive.
3. At the select prompt, enter 1 to display the access list.
A list of WWNs that have access to the management server is displayed.
In the following example, the list is empty:
switch:admin> msplmgmtdeactivate
MS Platform Service is currently enabled.
This will erase MS Platform Service configuration
information as well as database in the entire fabric.
Would you like to continue this operation? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
