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

GETTING STARTED:
help : displays a list of available subcommands
exit : quits the command shell
<subcommand> ? : displays a list of managed elements for a subcommand

Non-Interactive 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 non-interactive mode for CLI command execution below. In the example, the primary VCM is
located at IP address 192.168.0.120.
