Baremetal Server CLI

install bms installer

Installs the installer-service and vdefend-cli. Installer-service is responsible for handling the life-cycle management of vDefend software on baremetal servers.

install bms installer [root@sc2-10-186-97-98 tmp]# opt/vmware/vdefend/cli/bin/vdefend-cli vdefend-cli> install bms installer Installing installer-service... Installer-service installed successfully ******************************************************************************** * NOTICE * ******************************************************************************** It is strongly recommended to add /opt/vmware/vdefend/cli/bin to your PATH environment variable to use the CLI conveniently. Add the following line to your shell profile, depending on your shell type: For Bourne-compatible shells (e.g. sh, bash, zsh): export PATH="$PATH:/opt/vmware/vdefend/cli/bin" For C shell and its variants (e.g. csh, tcsh): setenv PATH "${PATH}:/opt/vmware/vdefend/cli/bin" After updating your PATH, open a new terminal (or reload your shell profile), and run vdefend-cli to access the CLI.

Once the 'install bms installer' command is ran, vdefend-cli is properly installed. Set environment variable path as instructed and use the installed vdefend-cli moving forward as follows:

running installed vdefend-cli [root@sc2-10-186-97-98 tmp]# vdefend-cli vdefend-cli>
