# Using the Intel® Manager for Lustre* command line interface

Contents

Intel® Manager for Lustre* software includes a command line interface (CLI) which can be used instead of the GUI to communicate with the Representational State Transfer (REST)-based API underlying the software GUI. The CLI is intended to be used in shell scripts by superusers and power users.

WARNING: For Lustre* file systems created and managed by Intel® Manager for Lustre* software, the only supported command line interface is the CLI provided by Intel® Manager for Lustre* software. Modifying such a Lustre file system manually from a UNIX shell will interfere with the ability of the Intel® Manager for Lustre* software to manage and monitor the file system.
