About DCLI
DCLI allows you to work with a simplified command-line interface that you can use to run common system administration commands against VMware Cloud on AWS, NSX-T, and vCenter Server systems.
What's New
DCLI 3.0.0 introduces the following changes and improvements.
- DCLI can now connect to NSX-T 2.2 or later by running the
dcli +nsx nsx_ip command.
- Added support for generating empty JSON command input templates by using the
+generate-json-input option and for generating empty JSON input for required fields only by using the +generate-required-json-input option. You can save a generated template as a file, populate the fields in the file, and provide the populated file back as command input by using the +json-input option. You can also use the +json-input option to provide JSON command input directly to the console.
- There is now a
+log-file option to redirect verbose output to a specified file.
- Added the
+sddc-id and +org-id options for connecting directly to an NSX-T endpoint on a VMware Cloud on AWS server, instead of first connecting to a VMware Cloud on AWS server, retrieving the NSX-T address, and providing it to the +nsx option. If you have the organization ID and SDDC ID, you can use the dcli +nsx +org-id your_org_id +sddc-id your_sddc_id command.
- The DCLI simple formatter has been replaced by a YAML formatter, which is now the default formatter.
- DCLI has been enhanced to be FIPS-compliant. For information about enabling the FIPS mode, see the DCLI User's Guide.
