Positional Parameters

Many parameters for CA VM:Director commands are positional. For commands where this is so, you must specify all parameters that precede a positional parameter if you want to specify that positional parameter.

Many positional parameters have default values, which are indicated by asterisks in command syntax boxes. You can enter an asterisk for these positional parameters to use the parameter’s default value.

For commands that support pattern matching by use of an asterisk, this manual does not display the asterisk in the command syntax box, but explains in the description of the relevant parameter or option that it supports pattern matching through use of the asterisk.
