## Question
LSI Command Line Interface cross reference MegaCLI vs tw_cli vs Storcli
## Answer
This knowledgebase article cross references commands for the LSI 3ware tw_cli ([CLIGuide_10.2_codeset.pdf](https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/12353273)), LSI MegaRAID MegaCLI ([Software guide 51530-00_RevO.zip](https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/12353341) or [Latest Megacli download](https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/12351587)) and StorCLI (Click here for User's Guide or [StorCLI download](https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/1.21.06_StorCLI.txt)).
