CLI commands in redundant configurations

When a system has two controllers, the same firmware image is run on both
controllers. The two controllers communicate with each other through a PCI bus
called the inter-controller link (ICL). Each controller has a serial port and has a
CLI available to the users who connect the serial port to a serial terminal.
Some CLI commands are entered from one controller's CLI prompt but are for the
other controller to execute. Command syntax instructs the controller to accept
user input, pass the command to the other controller, and then display the result.
The following keywords are used in the CLI to indicate a specific controller:
12
left arrow
right arrow
up arrow
down arrow
The CLI uses a zero-based numbering system. For example, LUN number
this_controller-
controller that the CLI is connected to.
other_controller
controller in the MSA.
