Re: [Xen-API] [XCP1.6] How can I read/write to xenstore in Windows OS

[Paul Durrant <Paul.Durrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

  There’s a new WMI api for accessing xenstore. Look and the CitrixXenStoreBase and CitrixXenStoreSession objects. Use the AddSession method of the base object to get a session object.

  There will be a Citrix Knowledgebase article about this in the very near future.

Subject: [Xen-API] [XCP1.6] How can I read/write to xenstore in Windows OS

 

Hello list,

 

I have installed XCP1.1 for monthes. By using xenstore_client.exe in xstools1.1, we can write/read message to/from xenstore easily. 

This is useful when we have some specific message to pass between host and guest OS.

 

For example: 

WRITE： 

<XENTOOL_PATH>\xenstore_client.exe write /local/domain/<domainId>/test "message"

 

READ:

<XENTOOL_PATH>\xenstore_client.exe read /local/domain/<domainId>/test (and get the output "message")

 

Recently after I upgrade the host to XCP1.6 and try to install the newest version of xstool, I found that xenstore_client.exe was removed from xstool6.1. 

Since I really need it to complete my function. So I come here for help. 

Are there any alternatives we can communicate with xenstore in Windows as usual in XCP1.1? 

(CentOS works fine after upgrade.)

 

Thanks in advance.
