Usage Guidelines The virtual-blade EXEC command is used to execute general operations on a virtual blade. The

virtual-blade n cd command changes the source of the virtual blade operating system image or ejects

the CD. The virtual-blade n save command saves a snapshot of the current virtual blade memory state

and saves it to /local1/vbs. The virtual-blade n kill-save-state command deletes the memory snapshot.

The virtual-blade n start and virtual-blade n stop commands allow you to activate and deactive the

virtual blade. Each command has an optional delay.
