# Assign a profile to a device bay

assign profile MyProfile enc0:1

# Done!!!

Unassigning multiple profiles

The unassign profile command includes the ability to unassign multiple profiles from device bays with

a single command.

The following example illustrates four server profiles being unassigned from device bays with a single CLI

command. If an operation fails on one of the device bays, an error message appears for that server or device

bay, but the remaining operations continue.

->unassign profile *

SUCCESS: Profile1 unassigned from device bay enc0:1

SUCCESS: MyProfile2 unassigned from device bay enc0:2

SUCCESS: GreenProfile unassigned from device bay enc0:3

SUCCESS: RedProfile unassigned from device bay enc0:4

CLI command execution modes

The Virtual Connect Manager CLI provides two different methods for executing commands: interactive shell

mode and non-interactive mode.

Interactive Shell Mode

This mode is used to invoke CLI command operations with the dedicated management shell. The shell is

provided after you log in with valid credentials, and only accepts known VCM CLI commands as input. You

can quit the shell by using the exit command. See the example of logging in to the interactive management

shell below. In the example, the primary VCM is located at IP address 192.168.0.120.

>ssh 192.168.0.120
