Overview and setup
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is used to configure and manage the MSA array controller and its
storage. Some configuration and management tasks include configuring storage units (LUNs), limiting
access to the storage, and viewing information on MSA components (controller, unit, and cache).
In addition, the CLI can be used to display system setup information and status. It may also provide

NOTE:
The CLI is available for all supported operating systems.
