HP Virtual Connect Manager 11
Command line overview
The HP Virtual Connect Manager Command Line Interface can be used as an alternative method for
managing the Virtual Connect Manager. Using the CLI can be useful in the following scenarios:
• HP Management Applications (for example, Systems Insight Manager or Insight Control tools) can
query the Virtual Connect Manager for information these tools need to present a complete
management view of HP BladeSystem enclosures and devices. This interface is also used by the
Management tools to execute provisioning and configuration tasks to devices within the enclosure.
• Users can develop tools that utilize Virtual Connect Manager functions for data collection and for
executing provisioning and configuration tasks.
• When no browser is available or you prefer to use a command line interface, you can access
management data and perform configuration tasks.
For additional information, see the HP Virtual Connect Manager Command Line Interface User Guide on
the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation ).
