Send commands to Virtual Engines

Commands to Virtual Engines are sent from the command line of the Master Engine that hosts the Virtual Engines.

All command-line tools that are available for single Engines are also available for Virtual Engines that have the same role.

Steps

  1. Connect to the command line on the Master Engine.
  2. Enter commands in the following format:
    se-virtual-engine [options]
    Table 1. Options for se-virtual-engine Command
    Option Description
    -h | --help Shows the help message for the se-virtual-engine command.
    -l | --list Lists the active Virtual Engines.

    -v <ID> |

    --virtual-engine=<ID>

    		Specifies the ID of the Virtual Engine on which to execute the command.
    -e | --enter Enters the command shell for the Virtual Engine specified with the -v or --virtual-engine option. To exit the command shell, type exit. Using the command shell is recommended if you want to send multiple commands to the Virtual Engine.

    --execute=”<command [options]>”

Executing individual commands is recommended if you only want to send a few commands to the Virtual Engine. You can also execute individual commands to send the same command to multiple Virtual Engines.
