Command Line User Interface
The Command View SDM Command Line User Interface (CLUI) is a set of
utilities that provide complete array management capability. Each utility
performs a different management task, such as configuring, reporting status
information, and performing rebuilds. The operation of the CLUI is identical
for all supported operating systems.
Some of the benefits the CLUI offers over the GUI include:
Full functionality - the CLUI provides access to all array management
tasks, including tasks that are not available in the GUI.
Simplify management tasks with scripts - the CLUI can be used in
creating custom scripts for efficient array management in a SAN
environment. This technique is effective in quickly configuring a set of
arrays in a network management application environment.
Easy remote access - the CLUI can also be used to remotely manage the
arrays by using the telnet application to log into the host system.
