appliance-cli context

Manage the configured appliance contexts

Synopsis

Manage the appliance contexts that are configured in the appliance-cli.

An appliance context allows the appliance-cli to configure authentication schemes and connect to remote appliances. If no appliance context is configured, the appliance-cli connects by default to the appliance on the local host.

If multiple appliance contexts are configured in the appliance-cli, you will need to select a current context. This determines what appliance is currently targeted by all the commands that are executed by the appliance-cli.

The appliance-cli supports targeting multiple appliances with different versions. The generated commands that are available depend on the version of the appliance. The appliance-cli fetches the API specification directly from the appliance. This API specification is cached locally. After a version upgrade of the appliance, the appliance-cli might still have the old API specification cached. You can use the appliance-cli context sync to force synchronization of the API specification.

Options

  -h, --help   help for context
