CAUTION: The Dell Open Automation Virtual Server Networking™ software package (the
“Product”) may contain the VMware SDK for Perl, which is licensed by VMware, Inc. VMware will
not provide technical support for the VMware SDK included in the Product. Users interested in
writing scripts for VMware products must obtain the VMware SDK directly from VMware. You may
not create scripts for VMware products through use of the VMware SDK included in the Virtual
Server Networking package. End Users may use the Dell Virtual Server Networking according to
the terms, conditions, and limitation of the pertinent Dell End User License Agreement only.
To run a VSN script (Perl or Python) in all connected hypervisor sessions to retrieve virtual server
configurations and update Dell Networking OS settings on the switch, enter the script command in
Configuration mode.
