Chapter 3 CLI Commands
virtual-blade
The virtual-blade n reset command immediately resets the virtual blade operating system, similar to
pressing the reset button on a real computer. Because this is not a clean shutdown, you are prompted to
confirm this command.
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.
When you use the virtual-blade n stop command, it sends a power down command to the virtual blade
so that the guest OS can shut down cleanly. If the guest OS does not respond within the specified timeout,
the virtual blade is not shut down. You may want to cleanly shut down the guest OS from the VNC
console. You can specify a timeout of 0 to force an immediate unclean shutdown of the guest OS; you
are also prompted to confirm this command.
Examples The following example shows how to start virtual blade 1 immediately:
WAE# virtual-blade 1 start
The following example shows how to stop virtual blade 1 after a 3 minute timeout period:
WAE# virtual-blade 1 stop 180
The following example shows how to eject the CD in the WAE CD-ROM drive:
