The following are some examples of using the Management Console for Unix Powershell cmdlets and the Unix CLI Command utilities.

Connect to the Console

Command Line Utilities > Examples of Using Command Line Utilities > Connect to the Console

To connect to the mangement console

Powershell:

Connect-QmcuService -Server  test.example.com

Unix CLI:

connect-qmcuservice -s  test.example.com

Add Host to the Console

Command Line Utilities > Examples of Using Command Line Utilities > Add Host to the Console

To add a new computer to the mangement console

Powershell:

New-QmcuComputer -ComputerName test.example.com

Unix CLI:

new-qmcucomputer -c test.example.com

You can also pipe commands together to accomplish a set of tasks.

To add, profile, and cache a computer's credentials, pipe these commands together:

Powershell:

New-QmcuComputer -ComputerName test.example.com | Set-QmcuComputerCredential | Update-QmcuComputer
Login
SSH to computer: test.example.com 
User: root
Password for user root: *******

Unix CLI:

new-qmcucomputer -c test.example.com | set-qmcucomputercredential | update-qmcucomputer 
Specify credentials to log in to test.example.com:
Username: root
Password: *******

New-QmcuComputer adds the computer to the console.
Set-QmcuComputerCredential caches the computers credentials.
Update-QmcuComputer updates the computers profile.

The mangement console prompts you for the user name and password when it sets the credentials.

Create Local Group Across all Managed Hosts

Command Line Utilities > Examples of Using Command Line Utilities > Create Local Group Across all Managed Hosts

To create a new group named "admins" on all "Linux" computers

Powershell:

Find-QmcuComputer -Filter "OperatingSystemName=Linux" | New-QmcuGroup -Groupname admins

Unix CLI:

find-qmcucomputer -f "OperatingSystemName=Linux" | new-qmcugroup -C –n admins
