Usage Information
Uninstalling the VSN package removes it from the internal ash memory on the switch. To follow the progress
when removing a package from the system, enter the show packages command.
NOTE: Before you uninstall the VSN package, rst stop all scripts that are currently running using the no
script script-name command.
Related Commands show packages — displays all the packages installed in the system.

To retrieve virtual server congurations and update Dell EMC Networking OS settings on the switch, run an installed VSN script (Perl or
Python) on active Hypervisor links.
S4810, S4820T, S5000, and MXL Switch
Syntax
[no] script script-name
To stop a running script, enter the no script script-name command.
Parameters
script-name
