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.
Note: DCLI supports running NSX-T commands only against NSX-T in VMware Cloud on AWS environments.
What's New
DCLI 2.12.0 introduces the following changes and improvements.
- DCLI is now colorized and provides features for colored input, output, and drop-down menu for easier orientation. There are four color themes and the default one is black and white. You can switch the feature off or on.
- DCLI now reuses the session ID of vCenter Server connections and the authentication tokens of VMware Cloud on AWS or NSX-T connections. New session IDs or authentication tokens are not created for each command, but are stored either in the memory if you are running in interactive mode, or the credential store if you are running in non-interactive mode, and are reused for subsequent commands.
- DCLI now works with Python Prompt Toolkit 2.0 and later.
- DCLI now supports
@DynamicContract annotations. If such annotations are defined in the VMODL2 APIs and you are running in interactive mode, DCLI asks for the discriminator value first. Based on the provided value, additional options are added to or removed from the drop-down menu in interactive mode.
