Apart from the VEA GUI, you can perform administrative tasks of CVM using the command-line interface (CLI). Among the available commands, the most useful is the vxclustadm command, which can be used to start or stop a node in a CVM cluster, view the state of a node, or view the node map.

For information on using vxclustadm and other commands to administer CVM:
