The libvirt toolkit is focused primarily on KVM virtual machines, but it is intended to be usable for multiple virtualization technologies, including the Xen Project Hypervisor. As a result, some commands are essential when using Xen Project software, but others do not apply as they are targeted for KVM concepts.
Some of the essential virsh commands for manipulating Xen Project VMs include:
| Common VIRSH commands: | |
|---|---|
| help | print help |
| list | list domains |
| create | create a domain from an XML file |
| start | start a previously created inactive domain |
| destroy | destroy a domain |
| define | define (but do not start) a domain from an XML file |
| domid | convert a domain name or UUID to domain id |
| domuuid | convert a domain name or id to domain UUID |
| dominfo | domain information |
| domname | convert a domain id or UUID to domain name |
| domstate | domain state |
| quit | quit this interactive terminal |
| reboot | reboot a domain |
| restore | restore a domain from a saved state in a file |
| resume | resume a domain |
| save | save a domain state to a file |
| shutdown | gracefully shutdown a domain |
| suspend | suspend a domain |
| undefine | undefine an inactive domain |
| setmem | changes the allocated memory. |
| setmaxmem | changes maximum memory limit. |
| setvcpus | changes number of virtual CPUs. |
| vcpuinfo | domain vcpu information. |
| vcpupin | control the domain vcpu affinity. |
| version | show version |
| dumpxml | domain information in XML |
| nodeinfo | node information |
| Unused VIRSH commands: | |
|---|---|
