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.
