You can provision, lifecycle manage, and monitor your Bare Metal Orchestrator infrastructure using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
The CLI is a text-driven interface that uses either an SSH Ethernet connection or Serial Over LAN (SOL) connection to access Bare Metal Orchestrator.
Using CLI commands, you can create, get, edit, delete, and describe Bare Metal Orchestrator objects and configure their attributes.
The following Bare Metal Orchestrator objects are supported:

Account requirements
If you are using the CLI to configure Bare Metal Orchestrator for the first time, you need a user account before proceeding. Contact your Bare Metal Orchestrator administrator for account information. If you have a Bare Metal Orchestrator user account and are ready to get started, see Logging in to the command line interface. To create a user account, see Users and roles overview.
