DiskSuite Tool and the Command Line Interface
In some instances, DiskSuite Tool and the command line utilities provide slightly different functionality. You must use the command line interface for some operations (for example, creating disksets), and DiskSuite Tool for others. Table 4-1 shows where you will need to use either DiskSuite Tool or the command line to perform certain functions.
