switching between hosts in VSX

Hi all,

After working with Maestro, both r80.20 and r81.10, I'm wondering in a classic VSX environment, what is the CLI command to switch between the VSX host running your virtual appliances ?

On Maestro, one can jump between the SGM/chassis/HW, by running the CLI command m 1_1 or m 1_2 command, then you can start CPVIEW on each hardware.

What is the equivalent in VSX ? And how to run cpview on your hardware appliances when in VSX ?

Thx.

SSH to each physical appliance via VS0.

CLISH:

set virtual-system <id>

Expert:

vsenv <id>

Hi,

user #expert

in VS0 ti list the VSs: #vsx stat -v

Then use the #vsenv <id> to jump to the relevant VS

Cheers

SSH to the physical appliances is not possible in VSX ( you must ssh to the VS0 ) , and doing so, you connect to the active physical appliance running your vs0 VM.

Using vsenv command is changing context ( VM ), but not changing to the inactive physical box. ( 5900 appliances in our case )

As with a regular cluster there is no such command.
