■ “Assigning Unit Numbers and Unit Qualifiers,” page 5–20
■ “Configuration Options,” page 5–23
Use the command line interpreter (CLI) or StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC) to
configure the subsystem. This chapter uses CLI, which is the low-level interface to the
controller. To use SWCC for configuration, see the SWCC online help for assistance.
