Running the %netvault%/util/ ./nvdav --server {SmartDisk_IP_Address}command fails with:
Failed to initialise CLI session, Err : Failed to logon:
The problem is caused because the customer is running the nvdav command without the proper credential to run CLI on the server.
- One solution is by running the nvdav command while logged in to the server as the user with root privileges on the server.
-Another is to run the commands bellow to set the "admin" account as the default NetVault Account under which to run CLI commands,.
1)- Open the Command prompt as Administrator by right clicking on the command prompt and selecting RUNAS Admnistrator, and type the following on the command prompt window before actually running the nvdav command.
2)- set NETVAULTCLIACCOUNT=admin
3) set NETVAULTCLIPASSWORD =<<thepassword>>
4)- ./nvdav --server <<SmartDisk_IP_Address>>
- A third solution is when you open the NV GUI's Access Control and right-click on the "admin" account, choosing User Properties, check under the "Privileges" tab to ensure that either the option listed as "System - Permitted to use CLI tools" is granted or the check box for "User is granted all privileges" is enabled.
