While many of the command line tools provided by Oracle VM Utilities are still useful, as of Oracle VM 3.2.1 many of the actions that they allow you to perform can be achieved using the Oracle VM Command Line Interface, which provides a wider range of control over objects within Oracle VM Manager. The Oracle VM Command Line Interface tends to provide better information about objects and affords more flexibility when dealing with particular object types. See the Oracle VM Command Line Interface User's Guide for more information.

The Oracle VM Utilities make a connection to the Oracle VM Manager host server, using the server host name and an administrative user name and password. Oracle VM Manager listens on port 54321(TCP, local access only) or 54322 (Secure TCP). All utilities share a common set of parameters to connect to the Oracle VM Manager instance. The following parameters are required and used by each :

-u <user name of an Oracle VM Manager admin user>
-p <password corresponding with the admin user name>
-h <host name of the server running Oracle VM Manager>
