Introduction
35MSA1000 Reference Guide
Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is built into the firmware and can be used to
configure, manage, and monitor all aspects of the MSA1000, including hard drive
array configuration. The CLI is accessed through a host computer connected to the
customized RJ-45Z serial port on the front of the MSA1000.
All supported operating systems can access the CLI.
Note: If you plan to use the CLI to configure and manage your storage, HP
recommends using the CLI exclusively and not using the ACU.
Insight Manager 7
Insight Manager 7 can be used to monitor the performance of several MSA1000
Controller parameters. The displayed parameters include CPU usage, the total
number of read and write commands processed, and the average time to process a
read or write command. Also displayed for each logical drive are the total I/O
count, number of read and write requests, and number of sectors read or written.
Use Insight Manager 7 to monitor the performance of your drive arrays.
The Windows, Linux, and NetWare operating systems can use Insight Manager 7.
