Re: [Xen-users] xend http interface
I've not the complete list of commands for http interface, I try to
discover them when I need to use it ... If someone has this list or know
where to find it, i would appreciate too to get this ...
However, the command I already found and use with the HTTP interface are
those :
GET requests :
/xend/domain/ AND /xend/domain/?detail=1 : to get a list of all started
nodes (detailed or not)
/xend/node : to get informations on the node on which xen runs (free
memory, number of cpu, ...)
POST requests on /xend/domain :
parameters : op=create&config=s-expression : to create a paused domU
with his config urlencoded in "s-expression" (s-expr = (domain (memory
128)(device (vbd (dev xvda1)(uname phy:device)(mode w))) ............)
POST requests on /xend/domain/domain-name :
parameters : op=wait_for_devices : command to wait for the devices of a
newly created domU before unpausing it
parameters : op=unpause : unpause a domU (xm unpause)
parameters : op=pause : pause a domU (xm pause)
parameters : op=destroy : destroy a domU (xm destroy)
parameters : op=shutdown&reason=(halt|poweroff|reboot) : 3 different
ways to shutdown your domU
parameters :
op=cpu_sedf_set&latency=nnn&slice=nnn&period=nnn&weight=nnn&extratime=n
: réglage des paramètres sedf (xm sched-sedf)
I think it's possible to do migrations, save and restore, and many other
things, but i have not searched how to use those commands
Another think to know when using the HTTP interface is that xend acts
differently depending on the headers (especially the Accept: HTTP
header) : if you don't put such a header, it will answer you with
s-expression (useful if you are developping something over xen for
example) and if you put one, you'll get an HTML formatted answer (useful
to read it, even if the s-expressions mostly contains more informations).

Dear Jean,
Thanks a lot for the help.
Is there some kind of documentation for the complete list of commands
for http interface ? Alternatively if you have the list and
explanation i would very appreciate if you can post it here.

We are using this interface to control the xend daemon. With this
interface, you can do quite everything you can with the xm tool.
For example to destroy a domain, you can do a HTTP POST request on
this
url :
http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/domain-name
with parameter
op=destroy
To create a domainU, you can do a POST request on this url :
http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/
with parameter
op=create&config=s-expression
s-expression is the xen configuration format (you can look at it
making
a xm list -l for example)
To list started domains :
http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/
or
http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/?detail=1
<http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/?detail=1>
The http server don't exactly map xm commands however : to boot a new
server, you have 2 or 3 operations to do when using the http server :
create, wait_for_devices and unpause
The xend HTTP interface is accessible via a TCP socket or via an Unix
socket (way used by xm in xen-3.0)
