Using the DCLI Configuration Store

The configuration store is a store for key-value tuples used to set default values for command options.

The configuration store has profiles. Profiles isolate key-value pairs. DCLI uses a default profile. You can specify the default profile by using the default_profile key.

In the following example, the default profile is labeled default. Each profile first specifies key-value items for a given component. The possible component values are vsphere, vmc, and nsx. This example contains the vmc and vsphere components. The profile then specifies the server you want the key-value pair to be valid for, and also that this pair should be used for the default options DCLI functionality. For more information about default options, see Using Default Options.
