XenServer

This is something we want to do. We have to order a new server to do our test. If you already have some command line information or details, we could do an add-on directly.

Sorry, I have searched for some command line arguments, but I have only found informations to manage it on the command line (not to open the GUI).

You can manage the xenservers with the tool xe.exe with is installed in the xencenter directory.

the arguments are:

xe.exe -s [server] -u [user] -pw [password] -p [optional port] xe-command

xe-commands are:

vm-list

host-list

vm-pause

I can post all commands tomorrow.

here are all the command attributes, but no command to open the GUI and login:

Usage: xe <command> [-s server] [-pw passwd] [-p port] [-u user] [-pwf password-

file]

[command specific arguments]

To get help on a specific command: xe help <command>

Hi,

Do you think that this will be useful?

no, not really, only for adding a scripting tool but this wouldn't be the goal.

David,

I just came across this tool today. I think it is great. I would benefit greatly from XenServer support in your product.

Hi,

Do you think that this will be useful?

Hi,

I would really like to suport it but I need some clue how to do that. I can't find a command line to open the GUI or a way to integrate it. Do you have an idea?

David,

Let me take a look and see what I can find. I am literally overwhelmed by the built in support you already have. Once I figure out how you are set up within your product I will see if I can help you out.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi,

Anyone have any luck with this?

The next server purchase is for XenServer. I hope to include this in the version 8.0 in September

+1, I am also very interested in XenServer support.

The server has been ordered last week :)

Count me in. I could use it too.

Almost a year and a half later, any support for accessing XenCenter Consoles from within RDM?

This was implemented last year:

Hello!

What i am still missing is:

- Access to VMs console

- Possibity to see which server the VM is running to

- Possibility to live migrate a VM

That would be nice!

Regards,

Stril

What do you mean by access the VM console?

Hi!

Xencenter has a built-in function to access the VMs console like an IPMI-module or something like "bare-metal-VNC", that is also accessible at boot-time.

Regards,

Stril

Ok,

I don't know if we have access to that technology Is there a tool that we could integrate?

Hello David!

´

This is mainly "standard-vnc" as described here:

http://blogs.citrix.com/2011/02/18/using-vnc-to-connect-to-a-xenserver-vms-console/

1. get DOM-ID of the VM:

[root@xenpool3host1 ~]# xe vm-list uuid=12a24f80-9e1d-9a41-cc82-6b27b78b0212 params=dom-id

dom-id ( RO) : 492

2. Find out VNC-Port:

[root@xenpool3host1 ~]# xenstore-read /local/domain/492/console/vnc-port

5936

--> VNC of that VM is running on 127.0.0.1:5936

--> SSH Local Portforwarding

Does that help you?

Regards,

Stril

Yes this helps but it does not seems to be a simple task. That's would be great to integrate it.

Hello,

What version of RDM are you using?

Do you want to backup the configuration of RDM?

Best regards,
