CommandDescriptionNotes

sandbox login

Log in to the sandbox VM environment. By default, superuser privileges are provided in the Sandbox environment. You use the sbuser account by default and the system places you in the local directory for that account.

Available for local and remote sandbox instances

sandbox restart

Restarts the sandbox VM's operating system. Useful in cases where a script is stuck in a loop or otherwise cannot be ended, or the operating system undergoes an upgrade and requires a restart. For remote sandbox instances, you can

log in to the VM and issue a run the reboot command; or reset the VM from the hypervisor.

Available only for local sandbox instances

sandbox reset

Completely restores and rebuilds the entire local sandbox VM's file system to its default configuration. Considered "the nuclear option" when a Perl script accidentally renders unusable some part of the VM's environment. The larger NetMRI file system, operating system, and functional operations will remain unaffected by a sandbox reset directive or by any operations from an errant Perl script in the VM. The system erases any previously installed Perl modules or software utilities; the shared partition remains unaffected by this directive.
To reset a remote sandbox instance, you redeploy a downloaded sandbox VM image.

Available only for local sandbox instances

sandbox register

NetMRI administrative shell command that configures NetMRI to communicate with a new remote sandbox VM. Execute this command after installing the remote sandbox VM image into the VMware® server and setting up the remote sandbox. When executing this command you are prompted to enter the IP address of the remote sandbox to be registered. You will also be prompted twice to enter the password for the sbuser account on the remote sandbox (NetMRI prompts twice for the password to make sure no errors are made entering the password).

Available only when a remote sandbox is not currently registered.

sandbox deregister

NetMRI administrative shell command that disassociates the remote sandbox from the system.

Available when a remote sandbox is currently registered

sandbox show

NetMRI administrative shell command that shows the status and basic configuration of the local or the remote sandbox. The sandbox show command displays the network IP address and its mode: local, remote, or N/A. N/A indicates that the platform is not capable of supporting a local sandbox and that no remote sandbox has been registered. A remote sandbox must be registered to use Perl scripting on platforms that do not support a local sandbox.

Always available
