MSA 2040 SAS or P2000 G3 MSA Command Line Interface
The embedded CLI offers a command level method of configuring, managing, and monitoring the
MSA System and its storage. You can enter individual commands or command scripts. The CLI is
accessed locally through a terminal emulator running on a management host connected to the
mini-USB CLI port on the MSA controller or remotely through a Secure Shell application (SSH),
Telnet, or terminal emulator running on a management host connected through a LAN to the Ethernet
port on the MSA controller. For more information about using the CLI, see the HP MSA 2040 CLI
Reference Guide or the HP P2000 G3 MSA System CLI Reference Guide.
The following image shows a CLI display for the show vdisks and show volumes command.
