*********Welcome to VMware Cloud Foundation Download Tool***********
Version: 9.0.2.0.25151284
Usage:
vcf-download-tool binaries [-h] [COMMAND]
Description:
Management of the binaries files within the system.
-h, --help   Displays a help message that provides information about the command and its available options, and then
exits the tool.
Commands:
download              Download all the necessary files. The command supports filtering to narrow down the selection of
binaries based on the customer intent. At least one filter is required. In addition to the
binaries, it also downloads all of the needed metadata. However, UMDS binaries are excluded
from the download. When executed multiple times with the same output directory, the command’s
behavior is cumulative, adding to previously downloaded binaries without overwriting them.
upload                Uploads the downloaded binaries into the SDDC Manager. In addition to the binaries, it will also
upload the necessary metadata, ensuring that all relevant information is properly integrated
into the SDDC Manager system. As a prerequisite, the downloaded binaries need to be transferred
to the SDDC Manager appliance and the command must be executed from within the SDDC Manager
appliance.
list                  Provides a comprehensive view of all available binaries. Similar to the download binaries
command, it supports filtering options to help you narrow down the list based on your specific
needs. At least one filter is required. When executed, the command will display detailed
information for each binary, including key details such as the component name, version number,
release date, size and type. This allows you to quickly assess the contents of the depot,
making it easier to identify which binaries are relevant to your requirements before
downloading.
cleanup               This command helps you efficiently manage disk space by removing unwanted or obsolete binaries,
while retaining the ones you still need. It ensures that only the selected binaries are
deleted, giving you full control over what remains on your system. It is designed to be run on
a system where binaries have already been downloaded.
create-download-spec  Generates a download specification file based on the planned upgrades for a specific domain
within the environment. This spec file contains the necessary details to identify which
binaries are required for the planned upgrades. Once created, the spec file can be used as an
input parameter for the download binaries command, ensuring that only the relevant binaries for
the upgrade process are downloaded. The command must be run from within the SDDC Manager
appliance, as it relies on the environment's upgrade plan to generate the correct spec file.
This streamlines the download process by focusing only on the needed binaries for the upgrade.
