EMC VPLEX access via ssh

Last updated:

Tool requires access to operation system where VPLEX is running.
Note access to vplexcli is not needed.

There is probably change in default behavior between version VPLEX 5 and 6.

When you create user in VPLEX 5 then you gets direct access to operating system prompt.
VPLEX 6 startes vplexcli immediatelly after login via ssh.


Right access via ssh: 
$ ssh xormon@VPLEX01_host
  Last login: Fri Sep  8 06:54:20 2017 from 10.1.1.1
xormon@VPLEX01:~> uname -a

How to fix it?
There could be done some workaround as far as we know.
We got no details, perhaps removal of starting vplexcli from .profile or .bashrc ...
