+ <title>Using the Gluster Console Manager – Command Line Utility</title>
+ <para>The Gluster Console Manager is a single command line utility that simplifies configuration and management of your storage environment. The Gluster Console Manager is similar to the LVM (Logical Volume Manager) CLI or ZFS Command Line Interface, but across multiple storage servers. You can use the Gluster Console Manager online, while volumes are mounted and active. Gluster automatically synchronizes volume configuration information across all Gluster servers.</para>
