Using Environment
Variables
How you use
environment variables depends on the operating system that you are using.
On Linux, you can set
environment variables in a Linux bash profile or on the command line by using a
command like the following.
export VI_SERVER=<your_server_name_or_address>
On Windows, you can set
environment variables in the Environment properties dialog box of the System
control panel. For the current session, you can set environment variables at
the command line by using a command like the following.
set VI_SERVER=<your_server_name_or_address>
Do not
use escape characters in environment variables.
See
Using vCLI Commands in Scripts
for an environment variable example.
