Script Mode
In some cases, you might want to write automated scripts that execute a single command at a time. These
scripts can be used to batch several commands in a single script file from the SSH client. See the example of
how to use the script mode for CLI command execution below. In the example, the primary VCM is located
at IP address 192.168.0.120.
->ssh [email protected] show enclosure
<command output displayed to user's screen>
IMPORTANT:
To suppress prompting for a password during login, you must first setup the SSH
encryption keys using the VCM Web GUI, and configure your SSH client properly with the keys.
For more information on configuring the SSH keys, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class
