Introduction

The Command Line Interface (CLI) allows you to configure and
manage controller components. The CLI contains most of the
functionality offered by Adaptec Storage Manager, plus some
additional functionality not offered by Adaptec Storage Manager.
CLI commands allow you to automate testing or array creation in a
production environment using Windows command scripts and
Linux and Unix shell scripts.
This appendix describes briefly some of the commands available in
the CLI. For a full description of all the CLI commands, refer to the
Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
