330 APPENDIX E: VCX COMMANDS
Command Descriptions
This guide describes how to maintain your VCX system. Most
maintenance operations require entering commands to perform a
particular task or to run a script.
The tables in this appendix describe all available VCX commands. Many of
these commands are used (and described) elsewhere in this guide to
perform maintenance tasks. In this case, the tables provide cross
references to the re levant topics.
Many commands have required or optional arguments. For these
commands, you can use the --help argument to view command syntax.
Tabl e 16 lists commands you can use to reconfigure or back up a VCX
configuration.
Tabl e 17 lists commands you can use for various installation and removal
tasks, or to switch between versions of installed VCX software.
