Enable or disable legacy management interface

Contributors

You can enable or disable the legacy management interface (SYMbol), which is a method of communication between the storage array and the management client. By default, the legacy management interface is on. If you disable it, the storage array and management client will use a more secure method of communication (REST API over https); however, certain tools and tasks might be affected if it is disabled.

About this task

The setting affects operations as follows:

  • On (default) — Required setting for mirroring, for CLI commands that operate only on E5700 and E5600 storage arrays, and some other tools like the QuickConnect utility and the OCI adapter.

  • Off — Required setting to enforce confidentiality in communications between the storage array and the management client, and to access external tools. Recommended setting when configuring a Directory Server (LDAP).

Steps

  1. Select Settings › System.

  2. Scroll down to Additional Settings, and then click Change Management Interface.

  3. In the dialog box, click Yes to continue.
