1. Introduction

This user guide provides eXpeRAID Command Line Interface (CLI) instructions for configuring and maintaining your eXpeRAID. Before using this CLI, we assume that you have already installed your controller in your system. If you have not yet installed eXpeRAID, see Accusys eXpeRAID Installation User manual for instructions.

1.1 Overview

This Command Line Interface (CLI) is provided for you to configure and manage the Accusys eXpeRAID components in Linux, Mac or Windows. The CLI is useful under environments where a graphical user interface (GUI) is not available. Through CLI, you can perform most of the storage management tasks that you perform with the eXpeRAID storage manager GUI. CLI commands can be executed under either interactive or non-interactive (script) mode, providing higher level API functionalities.

1.2 Supported Operating Systems

•Windows: XP, 20xx, Vista, …, etc.

•Linux: Fedora Code, SuSE, Debian, …, etc.

•Mac: Mac Pro, G5 …, etc.

CLI supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Be sure you are using the correct version.
