# Basic VM Management
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vm-list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start, stop, et c. with `xe`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vm-start vm=$TARGET_VM
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vm-shutdown vm=$TARGET_VM
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Destruction requires the uuid.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vm-destroy uuid=$TARGET_UUID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Autocompletion works well with all of these commands.
|
|
|
|
# Shut Down VM
|
|
|
|
List VMs.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe host-list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vm-list resident-on=$HOST_UUID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vm-shutdown uuid=TARGET_VM force=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If this doesn't work, try:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vm-reset-powerstate uuid=TARGET_VM force=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Get the id:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
list_domains
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And destroy the domain:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
/opt/xensource/debug/xenops destroy_domain -domid $DOM_ID
|
|
```
|
|
|

# Problem Solving
|
|
|
|
> Error: `Internal error:xenopsd internal error: Storage_interface.Illegal_transition` in XenServer
|
|
|
|
After a failed “Move VM”, “Copy VM”, or “Export VM” operation, the Virtual Machine (VM) being operated cannot start.
|
|
|
|
## Solution
|
|
|
|
To resolve this error, complete the following procedure:
|
|
|
|
Open the Console to the XenServer that is hosting the VM and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
list_domains
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All the VMs running on that server are displayed.
|
|
|
|
Copy the UUID corresponding to id=0.
|
|
|
|
This is the UUID of the Control Domain. The Control Domain is a privileged Virtual Machine that handles all hyper calls received from running VMs to perform all virtual tasks.
|
|
|
|
Run the following command to obtain the UUID of the VBD (Virtual Block Device) object linking the Control Domain:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vbd-list vm-uuid=$CONTROL_DOMAIN_UUID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the following commands to unplug and destroy the VBD:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vbd-unplug uuid=$VBD_UUID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vbd-destroy uuid=$VBD_UUID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Make a local iso repository
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe sr-create name-label=LocalISO type=iso device-config:location=/var/opt/xen/ISO_Store device-config:legacy_mode=true content-type=iso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This creates a UUID for the new directory, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
> e94e25bb-bcdc-801b-b62a-b51b686a3bdc
|
|
|
|
# Import
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe vm-import filename="$FILENAME".xva
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# USB
|
|
|
|
## Attach
|
|
|
|
Put in the USB.
|
|
|
|
Get the USB's uuid.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe pusb-list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make the USB recognised as a device.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe pusb-param-set uuid=*<uuid>*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For passthrough, use this:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xe pusb-param-set uuid=*<uuid>* passthrough-enabled=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Attach to host
|
|
|
|
(requires reboot of guest)

# Exporting and Exporting VMs

|
```sh
