Consider the command --list healthcheckstatus, which is not supported in Web
Services. To understand how it can be run over Web Services, one needs to
understand how the runcmd CLI works.
The runcmd CLI is very simple. Any CLI command can run directly as is, such as
the following command:
syscli --list healthcheckstatus
However, the command can be run indirectly by specifying it as options to the
runcmd CLI as follows:
syscli --runcmd --list healthcheckstatus
The syntax above runs the runcmd CLI, which then parses the options specified
after the "—runcmd" token. Based on these options, the runcmd CLI invokes
the appropriate system API to execute. In the end the effect is executing the
--list healthcheckstatus command.
Because the runcmd CLI is supported over Web Services, it can accept the –ws
option to send the command to a WS server for execution as follows:
syscli --runcmd --list healthcheckstatus --ws [<remotehost>[:<port>]]
Because Web Services commands and regular CLI commands differ only in the
additional options --ws and --credtoken, there is no need to document WS
commands separately. The option --credtoken is optional and can be ignored
because syscli can use the cached value.
The following sections describe the supported VTL CLI commands:
Note: VTL configuration CLI commands are available only on the DXi6700
systems.
