XAPI Management Tools
This page lists various 3rd party management tools and interfaces for XCP (Xen Cloud Platform). For Xen, please see the list of Xen Management Tools. If you want your project listed here please edit the page or send an email to xen-devel or xen-users mailinglist and we'll update the page.

Command Line
XCP does not come with the 'xm' CLI you may have used for managing traditional Xen. Instead, XCP comes with several CLI management clients built into dom0 (the thin hypervisor host), including:
- xe (/usr/bin/xe)
- xl (/opt/xensource/bin/xl)
- For further documentation, see Command Line Interface - Running the Xen Cloud Platform Command Line Interface
- For installing the 'xe' CLI on another Linux box, see XCP Install CLI
