SANtricity 11.8 Commands
Generate web server Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
The save controller arrayManagementCSR command generates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the controller.
Supported Series
This command applies to an individual HB2100/HB2200/HB2300, HB5100/HB5200, AB6100 or AB3100 storage system.
Roles
To execute this command on an HB2100/HB2200/HB2300, HB5100/HB5200, AB6100, or AB3100 storage system, you must have the Security Admin role.
Context
The CSR must be signed by a Certificate Authority (CA). The resulting signed certificate is installed on the controller’s web server so that browsers can automatically trust the controller’s web server when trying to manage the array. Perform this action for each controller.
