4.2 Xm
The xm tool is the primary tool for managing Xen from the console. The
general format of an xm command line is:
# xm command [switches] [arguments] [variables]
The available switches and arguments are dependent on the
command chosen. The variables may be set using
declarations of the form variable=value and command line
declarations override any of the values in the configuration file being
used, including the standard variables described above and any custom
variables (for instance, the xmdefconfig file uses a vmid
variable).
For online help for the commands available, type:
# xm help
This will list the most commonly used commands. The full list can be obtained
using xm help --long
. You can also type xm help <command>
for more information on a given command.
