About the MSA Command Line Interface

The MSA Command Line Interface (CLI) is built into the controller firmware and
can be used to configure, manage, and monitor all aspects of the MSA, including
hard drive array configuration.
The CLI is accessed by connecting the serial port on a host computer or laptop to
the customized RJ-45Z serial port on the front of the MSA. The specialized CLI
Configuration cable is included in the shipping carton with the MSA.
All supported operating systems can use the CLI.
For information about using the CLI, obtain and refer to the
MSA1000/MSA1500 Command Line Interface User Guide. This guide is available
