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

information on devices that are attached to the controller.

NOTE:

The CLI is available for all supported operating systems.

The CLI is an out-of-band utility, accessed through a host computer connected to the serial port of an MSA

controller.
