Getting Started

The Storage Center Command Utility is a Java application that provides a command-line interface (CLI) for users who want to use

commands and write scripts to manage or automate the management of a Storage Center. Command Utility commands are available to

perform most common management operations.

The Storage Center Command Utility commands support Storage Center functionality on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, and AIX

platforms. Commands can be executed from a command prompt or included in a script le for batch execution.

and delete other users and groups. Admin users have access to all users and groups — there is no
