You can create or change a message that displays when users
log on to the system. When users log on to the system with the management GUI, command-line interface, or service assistant, the message displays
before they log on to the system.
To create or change the login message, you can use the chbanner command or the management GUI. If you are
using the command, you must create the message in a supported
text editor and use Secure Copy (SCP) to copy the file to the configuration
node on the system. In the management GUI, select to enable and create a login message.
To change the login message from
a SAN administrator workstation, complete the following steps.
- Use a suitable text editor to create a file that contains
the text of the message.
Note: The message cannot exceed 4 Kbytes.
- Use a Secure Copy client to copy the file to the configuration
node of the system to be configured.
Specify the management IP address of the system to be configured.
- Log on to the system to be configured.
- In the command-line interface, type the following command
to set the login message:
chbanner -file filepath
where
filepath specifies the file
that contains the text of the new message.
echo "Access to this system is permitted only for authorized personnel." > loginmessage
scp loginmessage admin@12.23.34.45:/tmp/loginmessage
(enter password)
ssh admin@12.23.34.45
(enter password)
chbanner -file /tmp/loginmessage
