VAST CLI Running Options

The vms.sh shell script is stored on the management CNode under /vast/data/. Running this script with the vcli argument runs the VAST CLI.

There are three ways you can run commands:

  • Open the command line prompt in the shell and run commands interactively (default).

  • Run a single command non-interactively.

  • Run a batch of commands saved to a file.

See vms.sh Usage for details.

vms.sh Usage

/vast/data/vms.sh vcli [-h | --help]
                       [-c command | --command command]
                       [-b batch-file | --batch-file batch_file]
                       [-u user | --user user]
                       [-p password| --password password] 
                       [-d | --debug]
