Sample Script

This sample script imports the XenServer API, defines itself as a custom script, and then passes parameters specific to the host you want to control remotely. You must define the parameters session, remote_host, and power_on_config in all custom scripts.

The result is only displayed when the script is unsuccessful.

import XenAPI

def custom(session,remote_host, power_on_config): result="Power On Not Successful"

for key in power_on_config.keys(): result=result+"

key="+key+"

value="+power_on_config[key] return result

Note:

After creation, save the script in the /etc/xapi.d/plugins with a .py extension.
