Virtual I/O Command Line
Interface
Overview
This section details the usage of the Command Line Interface (CLI) feature for the
EVIC and FVIC virtual I/O (VIO) modules. The CLI allows the user to perform remote
configuration and management tasks, which in many respects mirrors the
functionality of the Chassis Viewer GUI.
The VIO CLI is accessed via the
rlogin
command executed from the 9000 switch
CLI.

short, the commands are grouped into functional groups, which are:

files for future upgrades. Additionally, the Firmware functional group includes
commands for viewing the current firmware revisions and for changing the
boot image.
