Re: [Xen-API] XAPI Perl howto

[Sergey Melnik <admin.sa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, should do it.

Yet I just put this code here, while I'vent writen an article.

use Frontier::Client;
$server = Frontier::Client->new(url => 'http://hostname/');
$session = $server->call('session.login_with_password',
'USER','PASSWD','1.0.0');
$vmuuid = $server->call('VM.get_by_name_label',$$session{"Value"},'VMNAME');
$sruuid = 
$server->call('VM.snapshot',$$session{"Value"},$$vmuuid{'Value'}[0],'SNAPSHOT');
$isatemplate = 
$server->call('VM.set_is_a_template',$$session{"Value"},$$sruuid{'Value'},$server->boolean('0'));

By the way - a am having trouble finding the way to export a vm using Xapi.
Any ideas?

Cheers,
Sergey
