Citrix Systems 5.6 manual Host-power-on, Host-set-power-on, Host-reboot, Host-restore

Be careful when using this CLI command off-host and ensure that you have network connectivity on the new interface. Use xe pif-reconfigureto set one up first. Otherwise, subsequent CLI commands will reach the XenServer host.

host-power-on

host-power-on [host=<host_uuid> ]

Turns on power on XenServer hosts with Host Power On functionality enabled. Before using this command, host-set-power-onmust be enabled on the host.

host-set-power-on

host-set-power-on{host=<host uuid> {power-on-mode=<""><"wake-on-lan"> <"iLO"> <"DRAC"> <"custom"> } [power-on-config=<"power_on_ip"><"power_on_user"><"power_on_password_secret">] }

Use to enable Host Power On functionality on XenServer hosts that are compatible with remote power solutions. Workload Balancing requires Host Power On functionality is enabled for it to turn off underused hosts in Maximum Density mode. When using the host-set-power-oncommand, you must specify the type of power management solution on the host (that is, the <power-on-mode>). Then specify configuration options using the <power-on-config>argument and its associated key-value pairs. To use the secrets feature to store your password, specify the key "power_on_password_secret".

host-reboot

host-reboot[<host-selector>=<host_selector_value>...]

Reboot the specified XenServer hosts. The specified XenServer hosts must be disabled first using the xe host-disablecommand, otherwise a HOST_IN_USE error message is displayed.

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.

If the specified XenServer hosts are members of a pool, the loss of connectivity on shutdown will be handled and the pool will recover when the XenServer hosts returns. If you shut down a pool member, other members and the master will continue to function. If you shut down the master, the pool will be out of action until the master is rebooted and back on line (at which point the members will reconnect and synchronize with the master) or until you make one of the members into the master.

host-restore

host-restore[file-name=<backup_filename>][<host-selector>=<host_selector_value>...]

Restore a backup named file-nameof the XenServer host control software. Note that the use of the word "restore" here does not mean a full restore in the usual sense, it merely means that the compressed backup file has been uncompressed and unpacked onto the secondary partition. After you've done a xe host-restore, you have to boot the Install CD and use its Restore from Backup option.

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.
