Command Line Interface

The storageos command line interface (CLI) is used to manage cluster-wide configuration.

Installation

# linux/amd64
curl -sSLo storageos https://github.com/storageos/go-cli/releases/download/1.2.0/storageos_linux_amd64 && chmod +x storageos && sudo mv storageos /usr/local/bin/
# OS X/amd64
curl -sSLo storageos https://github.com/storageos/go-cli/releases/download/1.2.0/storageos_darwin_amd64 && chmod +x storageos && sudo mv storageos /usr/local/bin/

You will need to provide the correct credentials to connect to the API. The default installation creates a single user with username storageos and password storageos:

# Use environment variables
export STORAGEOS_USERNAME=storageos STORAGEOS_PASSWORD=storageos

# Access StorageOS running on a remote host by providing the IP address
export STORAGEOS_HOST=10.1.5.249
