pif-plug
pif-plug uuid=<uuid_of_pif>
Attempt to bring up the specified physical interface.
pif-reconfigure-ip
pif-reconfigure-ip uuid=<uuid_of_pif> [ mode=<dhcp> | mode=<static> ]
gateway=<network_gateway_address> IP=<static_ip_for_this_pif>
netmask=<netmask_for_this_pif> [DNS=<dns_address>]
Modify the IP address of the PIF. For static IP configuration, set the mode parameter to static, with
the gateway, IP, and netmask parameters set to the appropriate values. To use DHCP, set the mode
parameter to DHCP and leave the static parameters undefined.
Note:
Using static IP addresses on physical network interfaces connected to a port on a switch using Spanning Tree
Protocol with STP Fast Link turned off (or unsupported) results in a period during which there is no traffic.
pif-scan
pif-scan host-uuid=<UUID of XenServer host>
Scan for new physical interfaces on a XenServer host.
pif-unplug
pif-unplug uuid=<uuid_of_pif>
Attempt to bring down the specified physical interface.
Pool commands
Commands for working with pools. A pool is an aggregate of one or more XenServer hosts. A pool uses
one or more shared storage repositories so that the VMs running on one XenServer host in the pool can
be migrated in near-real time (while still running, without needing to be shut down and brought back up)
to another XenServer host in the pool. Each XenServer host is really a pool consisting of a single member
by default. When a XenServer host is joined to a pool, it is designated as a member, and the pool it has
joined becomes the master for the pool.
The singleton pool object can be listed with the standard object listing command (xe pool-list), and its
parameters manipulated with the standard parameter commands. See the section called “Low-level param
commands” for details.
Pool parameters
Pools have the following parameters:
Parameter Name Description Type
uuid the unique identifier/object
reference for the pool
read only
name-label the name of the pool read/write
name-description the description string of the
pool
read/write
