Using the Command Line Interface

Task Commands

Use the CLI commands to display and manage tasks. A task is an operation that occurs only on the controller, asynchronous to all other operations. Examples of tasks are clearing a disk and creating a RAID 1. Once a task is running on the controller, the CLI enables you to display, stop, suspend, and resume the task.
