Non-Interactive Mode
In some cases, users 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. An example of how
to use the non-interactive mode for CLI command execution is provided below. In the example, the primary
VCM is located at IP address 192.168.0.120.
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 additional information on configuring the SSH keys, see the HP Virtual Connect for c-Class
BladeSystem User Guide.

Remote access to the Virtual Connect Manager
The Virtual Connect Manager CLI can be accessed remotely through any SSH session:
1.
Start an SSH session to the Virtual Connect Manager using any SSH client application.
2.
When prompted, type the assigned IP address or DNS name of the Virtual Connect Manager, and then
press Enter.
3.
Type a valid user name, and then press Enter.
4.
Type a valid password, and then press Enter. The CLI command prompt displays.
5.
Enter commands for the Virtual Connect Manager.
6.
To terminate the remote access SSH session, close the communication software or enter exit at the CLI
command prompt.
Command output filtering
The CLI provides output filtering capabilities that enable users to display only properties of interest. This
feature is useful for filtering large amounts of output data for specific information. One or more properties can
be specified in the output filtering rules.
The examples below illustrate some common usage scenarios for output filtering.
Example 1: Displaying all enabled users
->show user enabled=true
Example 2: Displaying on VC Ethernet Interconnect Modules
->show interconnect type=VC-ENET
