1 Introduction
The QLogic Control Suite (QCS CLI) utility is a console application that you can
run from a Windows command prompt or Linux terminal console. Use QLogic
Control Suite CLI to manage Marvell FastLinQ 41000/45000 Series Adapters and
adapters based on 578xx controllers on both local and remote computer systems.
This chapter provides the following information to introduce QLogic Control Suite
CLI:

QCS CLI Components
The Marvell FastLinQ 41000/45000 Series Adapters and adapters based on
578xx controllers comprise distinct components that are manageable elements.
The manageable elements are organized in an object-oriented hierarchical
manner in QLogic Control Suite CLI. Each object has an associated description
for the following:
Properties or data that the object exposes
Whether or not the properties or data are configurable
Whether or not actions can be performed on the object
What relationships exist between objects
