sr-introduce
sr-introduce name-label=<name>
physical-size=<physical_size>
type=<type>
content-type=<content_type>
uuid=<sr_uuid>
Just places an SR record into the database. The device-config parameters are specified by device-
config:<parameter_key>=<parameter_value>, for example:
xe sr-introduce device-config:<device>=</dev/sdb1>
Note:
This command is never used in normal operation. It is an advanced operation which might be useful if an SR
needs to be reconfigured as shared after it was created, or to help recover from various failure scenarios.
sr-probe
sr-probe type=<type> [host-uuid=<uuid_of_host>] [device-config:<config_name>=<value>]
Performs a backend-specific scan, using the provided device-config keys. If the device-config is
complete for the SR backend, then this will return a list of the SRs present on the device, if any. If the
device-config parameters are only partial, then a backend-specific scan will be performed, returning
results that will guide you in improving the remaining device-config parameters. The scan results are
returned as backend-specific XML, printed out on the CLI.
The exact device-config parameters differ depending on the device type. See Storage for details of
these parameters across the different storage backends.
sr-scan
sr-scan uuid=<sr_uuid>
Force an SR scan, syncing the xapi database with VDIs present in the underlying storage substrate.
Task commands
Commands for working with long-running asynchronous tasks. These are tasks such as starting, stopping,
and suspending a Virtual Machine, which are typically made up of a set of other atomic subtasks that together
accomplish the requested operation.
The task objects can be listed with the standard object listing command (xe task-list), and the parameters
manipulated with the standard parameter commands. See the section called “Low-level param commands”
for details.
Task parameters
Tasks have the following parameters:
Parameter Name Description Type
uuid the unique identifier/object reference for
the Task
read only
name-label the name of the Task read only
