1 Getting started The HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) Command Line is a family of executables that provide the facilities necessary for the most frequently used management operations for the VCEM infrastructure. The VCEM Command Line Interface (VCEMCLI) can be used as an alternative method for managing common Virtual Connect operations. The VCEM.CMD executable provides failover management. VCEMCLI.EXE is useful when scripting bulk operations on multiple Virtual Connect (VC) server profiles.
• Run scripts in response to HP Systems Insight Manager events or from the Windows job scheduler. • Leverage the comma-separated values (CSV) export of profile data to answer questions such as: ◦ Where is this MAC address or WWN used? ◦ Which profiles use this network? ◦ Which profiles use this fabric? ◦ What is different between these profiles? Leveraging the VCEM web user interface The VCEMCLI is designed to be used in addition to the VCEM web user interface.
Security on the CMS The VCEMCLI is installed on the CMS. By installing on the CMS, you get the benefits of the security measures already in place for the CMS. The trade-off is that the script execution imposes additional load on the CMS. HP recommends that you evaluate the amount of load that the script places on the CMS, and either program in pauses or reduce the amount of work that each invocation of the script accomplishes.
2 Using the VCEMCLI The VCEMCLI can be executed from the Windows command-line or from scripts written in any Windows-supported scripting language. Executable The vcemcli.exe executable is located in the HP VCEM Installation Root Directory\Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager CLI directory. During the VCEM installation process, the directory that contains vcemcli.exe is added to the %PATH% environment variable (EV).
Table 1 Common options (continued) CLI options Description NOTE: When you are using this option, sequential edits queued for the same profile might conflict with the changes being applied. HP recommends that you use blocking operations when you are performing multiple changes to a given profile. This approach ensures that the changes for each edit are applied to the profile before the next group of changes are initiated. Do not submit multiple non-blocked commands for a single profile.

Session lifetime VCEMCLI logon sessions remain active for a single command execution. The CLI automatically logs out of the VCEM server after the execution finishes, whether the command succeeded or failed. Role-based access control (RBAC) You can use RBAC to designate which operations and resources can be manipulated. RBAC Details VCEM provides the following role-based user types.

Working with server profiles The VCEMCLI provides the most commonly used server profile operations, including: • Server profile creation or update • Server profile assignment, unassignment, move or export to CSV For more information on server profiles and the available server profile operations, see the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User Guide available at: http://www.hp.com/go/vcem/.
NOTE: The minimum number of network connections is two. You cannot remove these two default connections. You cannot add more than the maximum allowed network connections. The maximum allowed network connections is based on the VC firmware mode. For more information see the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User Guide available at: http:// www.hp.com/go/vcem/.
well as between domain groups. Moving server profiles between domain groups offers new options when upgrading hardware or firmware. As part of the move process, the source and destination domain groups are checked for compatibility of network and storage connections. Warnings or errors are reported, based on the severity of any mismatches that are detected. The VCEMCLI move command can be executed from a script triggered from Systems Insight Manager in response to designated events.
Displaying job details The –show job -jobid command displays details for the specified VCEM job. The command returns a value that corresponds to the current state of the job. The job state return codes are: • COMPLETED (0)—The job is complete. • PENDING (10)—The job is waiting to run. • RUNNING (11)—The job is still running. • WARNING (12)—The job succeeded with minor errors. • FAILED (13)—The job failed. Sample job details: Y:\>vcemcli -show job -jobid 10 Listing details for specified VCEM job...

5 Troubleshooting the VCEMCLI This section provides information on resolving VCEMCLI issues. VCEMCLI calls result in access denied errors To resolve access denied errors, verify that the credentials used with the VCEMCLI have the required RBAC privileges configured in the CMS for the operation and resource being modified.
Unable to assign a profile to a domain group If the profile is not the same configuration as the VC domain group, you might not be able to assign the profile to the VC domain group. To resolve this issue, verify that the profile meets the requirements for the intended VC domain group. For additional troubleshooting information, see the HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager User Guide available at: http://www.hp.com/go/vcem/ for additional troubleshooting information.

For more information about supported VC firmware, go to http://www.hp.com/go/vcem. Creating a server profile fails Attempting to create a profile can fail if any of the following situations occur: • VCEM does not have enough free MAC or WWN addresses • Some MAC or WWN addresses are already being used by another server profile.
As a result, VCEM APIs can report false job results such as, Completed with success, even though the server profile changes have not taken effect.
following error message appears whenever an -add profile or -set profile operation is performed and one or more server profiles is inside the VC domains that have a boot LUN that does not comply with the required conditions. An invalid boot LUN was entered. Check the storage arrays for the proper LUN number Correct the boot LUN value in the server profiles to resolve the issue. A valid value is either a 3-digit decimal between 0 and 255 or a 16-digit hexadecimal between 0 and FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
