[Xen-devel] question on XML-RPC interface to xend

["Jayesh Salvi" <jayeshsalvi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I noticed that an XMLRPC interface has been introduced from 3.0.2+. This is breaking the remote execution of xm commands I used to do.

This change entirely changed the tools/python/xen/xend/XendClient.py. I used to remotely control the pool of servers by doing:
XEND=<remote server name> xm <operation> 

For this I had to change last line of XendClient.py from getUnixServer() to getHttpServer() . This tweak changed the way "xm" connects to xend process - instead of Unix domain sockets it uses Http connections. 

This setup used to work fine. I however do not understand the XML-RPC behavior from "xm"'s point of view. The XendClient.py now just opens a ServerProxy for a xmlrpc socket, which take httpu URI. I don't know how I can direct xm operations to the remote physical servers now.

Is remote access using xm discontinued because of this change? Or is there some method?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
