Parameter Types

The objects that are addressed with the xe commands have sets of parameters that identify them and define their states.

Most parameters take a single value. For example, the name-labelparameter of a VM contains a single string value. In the output from parameter list commands such as xe vm-param-list, such parameters have an indication in parentheses that defines whether they can be read and written to, or are read-only. For example, the output of xe vm-param-liston a specified VM might have the lines

user-version ( RW): 1 is-control-domain ( RO): false

The first parameter, user-version, is writable and has the value 1. The second, is-control-domain, is read-only and has a value of false.

The two other types of parameters are multi-valued. A set parameter contains a list of values. A map parameter is a set of key/value pairs. As an example, look at the following excerpt of some sample output of the xe vm- param-liston a specified VM:
