VAST CLI Running Options

The vms.sh shell script is stored on the management CNode under /vast/data/. Running this script with the vcli argument runs the VAST CLI.

There are three ways you can run commands:

Open the command line prompt in the shell and run commands interactively (default).
Run a single command non-interactively.
Run a batch of commands saved to a file.

See vms.sh Usage for details.
