Re: [Xen-API] [newbie] wiki has to be updated: INVALID_SOURCE

[Massimo Canonico <mex@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, it works.

I kindly suggest you to update the wiki page
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Command_Line_Interface#Virtual_Machine_Examples

since this could be the first place were newbies like me starts to use 
XCP (and it quite frustrating stop himself at the first step).
For your convenince, I have pasted all the command I've used.

I'll put, in this page, even the "xl console <vm-nam>", since I was not 
imeediately clear what "go to its console" meant.
Cheers,
 Massimo
