Hiding warning prompts
When you enter a command for an operation that can potentially destroy user data, the CLI displays a
warning and prompts you for input (a y or an n) before continuing the operation. This situation is undesirable
when running batch file scripts. To prevent warning prompts from being displayed, use the term forced as
a parameter.
Example command:
ctrl ch="Lab4" ld 1 delete forced
Under VMware ESXi 5.x, the forced flag is required for any command that has the option for a forced flag.
If the forced parameter is not used, the system generates an error message notifying the user that the
command could not be completed without this flag.
