About the Command Line Interface

The Command Line Interface (CLI) is built into the controller firmware and can
be used to configure, manage, and monitor all aspects of the MSA1500 cs,
including hard drive array configuration.
The CLI is accessed by connecting the serial port on a host computer or laptop to
the customized RJ-45Z serial port on the front of the MSA1500 cs. The
specialized CLI Configuration cable (part number 259992-001) is included in the
shipping carton with the MSA1500 cs.
All supported operating systems can use the CLI.
For information about using the CLI, obtain and refer to the Command Line
Interface Guide. This guide is available on the MSA1500 cs Documentation CD
and the Technical Documentation page of the MSA1500 cs web site at
http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs.
Note:
recommends using the CLI exclusively and not using the ACU.
