Features of the CLI
3ware CLI is a command line interface for managing 3ware RAID
Controllers. It provides controller, logical unit, drive, enclosure, and BBU
(Battery Backup Unit) management. It can be used in both interactive and
batch mode, providing higher level API (application programming interface)
functionalities.
You can use the CLI to view unit status and version information and perform
maintenance functions such as adding or removing drives. 3ware CLI also
