vm-cd-insert

vm-cd-insertcd-name=<name_of_cd>[<vm-selector>=<vm_selector_value>...]

Insert a CD into the virtual CD drive. This command will only work if there is one and only one empty CD device attached to the VM. When there are two or more empty CD devices, use the xe vbd-insertcommand and specify the UUIDs of the VBD and of the VDI to insert.

The VM or VMs on which this operation should be performed are selected using the standard selection mechanism (see VM selectors). Optional arguments can be any number of the VM parameters listed at the beginning of this section.

vm-cd-list

vm-cd-list[vbd-params] [vdi-params] [<vm-selector>=<vm_selector_value>...]

Lists CDs attached to the specified VMs.

The VM or VMs on which this operation should be performed are selected using the standard selection mechanism (see VM selectors). Optional arguments can be any number of the VM parameters listed at the beginning of this section.

You can also select which VBD and VDI parameters to list.

vm-cd-remove

vm-cd-removecd-name=<name_of_cd>[<vm-selector>=<vm_selector_value>...]

Remove a virtual CD from the specified VMs.

The VM or VMs on which this operation should be performed are selected using the standard selection mechanism (see VM selectors). Optional arguments can be any number of the VM parameters listed at the beginning of this section.

vm-clone

vm-clonenew-name-label=<name_for_clone>[new-name-description=<description_for_clone>] [<vm-selector>=<vm_selector_value>...]

Clone an existing VM, using storage-level fast disk clone operation where available. Specify the name and the optional description for the resulting cloned VM using the new-name-labeland new-name- description arguments.

The VM or VMs on which this operation should be performed are selected using the standard selection mechanism (see VM selectors). Optional arguments can be any number of the VM parameters listed at the beginning of this section.

vm-compute-maximum-memory

vm-compute-maximum-memorytotal=<amount_of_available_physical_ram_in_bytes> [approximate=<add overhead memory for additional vCPUS? true false>] [<vm_selector>=<vm_selector_value>...]

Calculate the maximum amount of static memory which can be allocated to an existing VM, using the total amount of physical RAM as an upper bound. The optional parameter approximate reserves sufficient extra memory in the calculation to account for adding extra vCPUs into the VM at a later date.
