With the release of XenServer 6.2 SDK, there is a better alignment between the PowerShell snap-in and the PowerShell standards cmdlets design and use. Here are some good reference documents:
- XenServer 6.2.0 SDK Release Notes
- XenServer 6.2.0 PowerShell SDK Overview
in the solutions from Citrix Lab we have for all our XenServer environment Einsatzaufgaben this SDK was with and we want to share with you.
all this installation on the XenServer pool master under perform
downloading and XenServer PowerShell snap-in scripts include connection and a set of cmdlets perform the various tasks. Of course this requires that you have the latest XenServer PowerShell snap-in that is available for download installed at http://www.xenserver.org/partners/developing-products-for-xenserver.html under Download SDK components and click the software Development Kit link.
to extract After downloading the XenServer-6.2.0-SDK.zip file, and run the [1945010XenServerPSSnapIn-620-1msi] located at XenServer SDK XenServerPSSnapIn .
[1945001auch], keep in mind that the XenServerPSSnapIn_old folder contains the old version of PowerShell snap-in, which is not used in this discussion. If this was a mistake installed, you can uninstall it and the right of the XenServerPSSnapIn install folder.The sample tasks
, to perform a task, such as with other complex operation, the script go through a series of steps to achieve the desired result. Below I will go over the steps that are used the example of tasks to accomplish. Each of these steps can be referenced in the sample scripts as comments with the prefix "blog step" to help follow you
Creating VMs from other VMs or templates
- Download the. XenServer snap-in
- to connect to the XenServer Pool Master
- Get the source VM or template
- Decide whether we a clone or copy (ie thin vs. do thick provision)
- Plan complete the creation of VMs
- wait for the creation
- When we started with templates, then we need VMs for the provision of terminate copies / clones and wait for the provision of
- If we want the VMs, then get each VM and schedule a performance on
- separating XenServer pool Master
- Remove the XenServer snap -in start
change the VM resources such as CPU, memory and networks
- load the snap-in XenServer
- the pool XenServer Connect Master
- each VM Get and a graceful closed schedule
- ensure each VM Get and that the VM is off
- If we modify networking:
- If we are to hold the non-existing networks on the VM, then remove all the existing networks on the VM
- networks VMs simultaneously adding it to skip duplicates and a number of devices hold
- If we modify CPU (we must always meet a CPU control from 0
- When CPUs in VM are greater than our desired number, then we can reduce start-up CPUs, followed by max CPUs
- When CPUs in VM are less than our desired count, then we increase max CPUs followed by start-up CPUs
- If we this action
- If desired memory amount is less than the static minimum, then our desired amount to the change storage static minimum
- If static maximum memory is greater than our desired amount of VM, then we put dynamic minimum, followed by dynamic maximum and finally static maximum
- If static maximum storage on VM less than our desired amount, then we set the static maximum, followed by the dynamic maximum and finally dynamic minimum
- Otherwise, we skip this measure
Creating and resetting of VM snapshots
- Download the XenServer snap-in
- to connect to the XenServer pool Master
- If we take a snapshot:
- each VM get and a graceful shut plan to obtain each VM down of VMs
- , ensure that the VM is turned off, and plan the creation of snapshot
- If we take a snapshot reset:
- obtain
- each VM, you get the snapshot, you plan the reversion of snapshot
Get the sample scripts
We would like to share with you some sample scripts that go described above in the various tasks of the steps. These scripts are very useful when the sample tasks is carried out as bulk operations across multiple VMs.
Creating VMs from other VMs or templates
Copy XenServerVMTemplate.ps1
Change the VM resources such as CPU, memory and networks
Set- XenServerVMResources.ps1
Creating and resetting of VM snapshots
Set-XenServerVMSnapshot.ps1
Happy Scripting!
