vCenter Server
Appliance
The root user on
the

Appliance can run DCLI commands from the appliance shell.
The following options are
available.

Use SSH to connect to the
shell or log in to the shell directly as the root user.

You can run commands
individually, or start the interactive DCLI shell. The interactive shell has
several advantages including drop-down autocompletion and a history file.

You can list commands,
display help for commands, and run commands. In the example below, the
interactive shell uses the default
