Command-line interface
The command-line interface (CLI) is an important interface into IBM Flex System Manager management
software, and it can be used to accomplish simple tasks directly or as a scriptable framework for
automating functions that are not easily accomplished from a graphical user interface. The IBM Flex
System Manager management software includes a library of commands that you can use to configure the
management software or perform many of the systems management operations that can be
accomplished from the management software web interface.
