Unassigning multiple profiles

In previous firmware releases, if the user needed to unassign multiple profiles from several device bays,

the unassign profile <profileName> command could be used at the command line. When many

profiles need to be unassigned, sending a command for each server profile to be unassigned can be

tedious.

To simplify this scenario, the remove profile command has been extended to include unassigning 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 displays for that

server/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 using the dedicated management shell. The shell is

provided after the user logs in with valid credentials, and only accepts known VCM CLI commands as

input. Users can quit the shell by using the exit command. An example of logging into the interactive

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

192.168.0.120.

>ssh 192.168.0.120
