Server command line interface

You can access the command line interface (CLI) on the SVM virtual machine to perform basic maintenance tasks.

The CLI is a series of commands that you can issue to the mvadm utility. Each command has arguments and parameters that can be added to the command to change the command's behavior. This reference lists each command in mvadm, and all argument variations.

Access the CLI

During installation, a shortcut to the command line interface (CLI) for the SVM is added to the Windows Start menu.

• From the Start menu, select Programs → McAfee → MOVE AV Server Command Prompt.

NOTE

Make sure you run this command as an administrator.

RESULTS

At this command prompt, you can type commands to perform administration tasks on the SVM.

NOTE

If you cannot find the shortcut to the Server CLI, then launch Command Prompt with administrative privileges and execute the commands for administrative tasks.
