Setting up your account information using the DS CLI

Complete this task to set up your account information which is needed when using the Call Home function. You must use the setplex command to associate a unique name with the 1750, which in turn allows you to open a secure shell connection to a storage unit for remote support.

Before you can activate and test the Call Home function, ensure that the following tasks have been completed:

You have supplied the following required contact information using the setcontactinfo command:
- Company name
- Ship state
- Ship location
- Ship country
- Primary contact phone number
- Primary e-mail address (required if you are using the call home e-mail notification feature).
You have supplied the location where e-mail notifications are sent by specifying the SMTP port and IP address through the setsmtp command.

To set up your account information, provide the following information:

Account number
The secure shell connection enabled
Storage image ID (manufacture, machine type, and serial number) unless you have stored this information in your profile file
Note: The example in the following steps presumes that the storage image ID information has not been stored in the profile file.

Perform the following steps to set up your account information. The example commands that are displayed in this task are shown in two formats. The first format provides the type of information that the command requires. The second format provides the command with declared values for the variables.

Issue the setplex command to establish your account information in the system. Enter the setplex command at the dscli command prompt with the following parameters and variables:
```
dscli>setplex -acct account -allowrssh enable storage_image_ID
```
Example
```
dscli>setplex -acct 101010 -allowrssh enable IBM.1750-68FA120
```

Press Enter. The following message is displayed if the process is successful:

 Storage Plex successfully modified

Issue the showplex command to verify that your system recognizes the account information. Enter the showplex command at the dscli command prompt with the following parameter:
```
dscli>showplex storage_image_ID
```
Example
```
dscli>showplex IBM.1750-68FA120
```
