Azure VMware Solution (AVS) utilizes Run Commands to execute administrative tasks against the AVS instance. The standard 'cloudadmin' user given to an AVS Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) lacks many of the traditional VMware administrative rights, so Run Command is the framework that customers can use to make admin-level changes to their AVS instance. Run Commands are in actuality PowerShell scripts that are separated into discrete libraries for specific functions and purposes for AVS. For the AVS integration with Everpure Cloud Dedicated, we primarily leverage the VMFS Run Command library for VMFS datastore operations. The AVS Run Command PowerShell scripts have been integrated with the Everpure PowerShell SDK into a combined PowerShell module named CBS.AVS.RunCommand.

If the customer's AVS instance is not showing the VMFS Run Command library in the portal, has otherwise not been assigned the appropriate version of the AVS Run Command VMFS library or the Everpure AVS and Everpure Cloud Dedicated combined module has not been properly loaded, the Run Command scripts may fail.
