Citrix Systems 6 manual Host-backup, Host-bugreport-upload, Host-crashdump-destroy, Host-disable

Parameter Name	Description	Type
size	size of the crashdump, in bytes	read only

host-backup

host-backupfile-name=<backup_filename>host=<host_name>

Download a backup of the control domain of the specified XenServer host to the machine that the command is invoked from, and save it there as a file with the name file-name.

While the xe host-backupcommand will work if executed on the local host (that is, without a specific hostname specified), do not use it this way. Doing so would fill up the control domain partition with the backup file. The command should only be used from a remote off-host machine where you have space to hold the backup file.

host-bugreport-upload

host-bugreport-upload[<host-selector>=<host_selector_value>...] [url=<destination_url>] [http-proxy=<http_proxy_name>]

Generate a fresh bug report (using xen-bugtool, with all optional files included) and upload to the Citrix Support ftp site or some other location.

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 parameters listed at the beginning of this section.

Optional parameters are http-proxy: use specified http proxy, and url: upload to this destination URL. If optional parameters are not used, no proxy server is identified and the destination will be the default Citrix Support ftp site.

host-crashdump-destroy

host-crashdump-destroy uuid=<crashdump_uuid>

Delete a host crashdump specified by its UUID from the XenServer host.

host-crashdump-upload

host-crashdump-upload uuid=<crashdump_uuid> [url=<destination_url>] [http-proxy=<http_proxy_name>]

Upload a crashdump to the Citrix Support ftp site or other location. If optional parameters are not used, no proxy server is identified and the destination will be the default Citrix Support ftp site. Optional parameters are http- proxy: use specified http proxy, and url: upload to this destination URL.

host-disable

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

Disables the specified XenServer hosts, which prevents any new VMs from starting on them. This prepares the XenServer hosts to be shut down or rebooted.

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 parameters listed at the beginning of this section.

host-dmesg

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