Understanding the QoreStor CLI

Introducing QoreStor > Understanding the QoreStor CLI

The QoreStor command line interface (CLI) provides the most efficient method for managing the status, data capacity, storage savings, and throughput of data containers. While some QoreStor functions can be managed through the QoreStor GUI, the CLI provides full access to all QoreStor features and functions.

Accessing the QoreStor CLI commands

Introducing QoreStor > Accessing the QoreStor CLI commands

This guide assumes that your QoreStor system has been deployed in the proper network location and is accessible to your workstation.
