Azerty on console access cli

marousan — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:47:21 GMT

Hello,

I would like to set my keyboard in French/Azerty on console access on our Netapp FAS and simulators.

The Keyboard is set to qwerty.

Is there a specific command to enter in order to set the keyboard in FR ?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards.

Marouane

In case of real FAS you connect to console over serial port or SSH, from some client or terminal. Keyboard layout is entirely controlled by the client you are using.

For simulator I do not think it is (easily) possible; you are effectively on BIOS level.ay be VMware or other hypervisors allow changing keyboard layout in VM. Try asking on VMware forum.

Hello, When we were in classrooms the teachers put the keyboard for the emulator in french but i forgot to write the command.

That is why i am asking. I'm pretty sure that it is possible.
