1.3. .ovirtshellrc Configuration
The
.ovirtshellrc file is a configuration file that is automatically created and populated when the user first connects to the ovirt-shell. It allows users to configure options for connecting to the Red Hat Virtualization environment. The .ovirtshellrc file is located by default in /home/[user name]/.ovirtshellrc.
The configuration information of the
.ovirtshellrc file falls under two section headings, [cli] and [ovirt-shell]. These headings are necessary for the configuration file to be parsed.
