Administrative Console and the VirtaMove CLI

You can use CLI commands instead of the Administrative Console to manage containers.

You can launch the container Command Prompt from the Administrative Console. This starts a new command prompt from within the container context.

Note:
You must be logged in as the built-in Administrator to use most VirtaMove command-line utilities. You can execute runas on the command line to execute a command as a different user.

To Launch the Container Command Prompt from the Administrative Console

  1. Click Start>Administrative Console. The Administrative Console window opens.

  2. Select a container.

  3. Click the Dock command button.

  4. Right-click a container, and then select Launch Prompt. The custom command prompt running within that container is displayed.

To Launch the Container Command Prompt Running in the Context of a Container from the CLI

  • In the command prompt window, issue the command:

    virtacmd <ContainerPath>
