RE: [Xen-users] Re: XCP 0.5 - dom0 vcpus/RAM settings not working

["Joe Linoff" <jlinoff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

"xe help" and "xe help --all" print out a lot of commands. For example "xe help 
--all | grep list | wc -l" shows 46 lines worth of list commands (perhaps more 
if there is more than one command per line) without any documentation. I didn't 
see any that talked about dom0 although some referred to host.

Where can I find documentation about the commands? I am happy to look in source 
code if that is the best place.

Thanks,

Joe

Try using "xe help" to get a list of everything the xe command can do.
There is no list param, but there are several different parameters for doing
different types of lists.  For example, vm-list lists the virtual machines,
host-list lists the hosts in the pool, and sr-list lists the storage
repositories available by the host.

Hi Dante:

Thank you for your suggestions. 

Unfortunately "xm" is not available on XCP servers. I tried "xe list"
because "xe" is installed but got the message "Unknown command: list".

Similarly, xend doesn't seem to be installed: /var/log/xen is empty.

My guess is that your suggestions are for "Xen Hypervisor" not XCP. Do you
know what the analogous commands are for XCP?

Regards,

Joe

Try "xm list" and verify the xen_commandline.

You can also check /var/log/xen/xend.log and search for "vcpus" and
"memsize" (the latest logs are at the bottom so search from the
bottom-up).
