QuantaStor Shell Utilities

Internal to every QuantaStor system is the QuantaStor CLI utility 'qs' which has all the same command functionality as the QuantaStor web management interface (WUI) but there are also other helper utilities for support and triage activities like log collection. This section will go over the basic description of each of these utilities.

qs

This is the main QuantaStor management CLI which is available for download for Linux and Windows from the downloads page. Full documentation for the qs CLI is available on here here. The qs CLI can be used to automate applying licenses to systems, creating snapshots, provisioning file, block and object storage and even automating complete configuration of new clusters. It's especially useful for MSPs/CSPs where frequent configuration and setup of new QuantaStor systems needs to be automated.
