1.4. Command Line Interface

The Command Line Interface chapter introduces "xe": a powerful CLI that facilitates administration of all aspects of XenServer, including host configuration, storage, networking and VMs. The CLI guide describes:

  • the syntax of xe commands;
  • using xe in both on- and off-host modes on both Windows and Linux;
  • using xe to query the parameters of physical and virtual objects, including hosts, networks, storage repositories, virtual disks and VMs;
  • using xe to configure XenServer deployments (including host, network, storage and VM configuration).
