Reconfigure the management interface of this XenServer host. Use this command only if the XenServer
host is in emergency mode, meaning that it is a member in a resource pool whose master has disappeared
from the network and could not be contacted for some number of retries.
host-enable
host-enable [<host-selector>=<host_selector_value>...]
Enables the specified XenServer hosts, which allows new VMs to be started on them.
The host(s) on which this operation should be performed are selected using the standard selection
mechanism (see host selectors above). Optional arguments can be any number of the host selectors listed
at the beginning of this section.
host-evacuate
host-evacuate [<host-selector>=<host_selector_value>...]
Live migrates all running VMs to other suitable hosts on a pool. The host must first be disabled using the
host-disable command.
If the evacuated host is the pool master, then another host must be selected to be the pool master. To change
the pool master with HA disabled, you need to use the pool-designate-new-master command. See the
section called “pool-designate-new-master” for details. With HA enabled, your only option is to shut down
the server, which will cause HA to elect a new master at random. See the section called “host-shutdown”.
The host(s) on which this operation should be performed are selected using the standard selection
mechanism (see host selectors above). Optional arguments can be any number of the host selectors listed
at the beginning of this section.
host-forget
host-forget uuid=<XenServer_host_UUID>
The xapi agent forgets about the specified XenServer host without contacting it explicitly.
Use the --force parameter to avoid being prompted to confirm that you really want to perform this
operation.
Warning:
Don't use this command if HA is enabled on the pool. Disable HA first, then enable it again after you've
forgotten the host.
Tip:
This command is useful if the XenServer host to "forget" is dead; however, if the XenServer host is live and
part of the pool, you should use xe pool-eject instead.
host-get-system-status
host-get-system-status filename=<name_for_status_file>
[entries=<comma_separated_list>] [output=<tar.bz2 | zip>] [<host-selector>=<host_selector_value>...]
Download system status information into the specified file. The optional parameter entries is a comma-
separated list of system status entries, taken from the capabilities XML fragment returned by the host-
get-system-status-capabilities command. See the section called “host-get-system-status-capabilities” for
