Hi Pankaj,

 

The HA API was changed in XenServer 6.0 – there is a new VM field “order”, which is used together with ha-restart-priority to define a VM’s HA behaviour.

Where previously you would have set a VM’s restart priority to 1, you would now call:

 

xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm-uuid> ha-restart-priority=restart order=1

 

The order field can hold any non-negative 64 bit integer, and VMs with a lower order will be restarted first after an HA failover.

 

It looks like the administrator’s guide still refers to the old API – I’ll see about getting this updated.

 

Thanks,

John
