The current namespace and command names are: hpacucli and cmd respectively. The {cmd
options} parameter can be cmdopts or -q. There is no need for an {object} type for ACUCLI
since the application operates on internal commands supplied in the command-string.

Use the following command syntax for all commands:
# esxcli –server=”servername or IP” –user=”username” –password=”root
