5.4.5.1. host-backup

host-backup file-name=backup filename [ host-selector=host-selector value...]

Download a backup of the control domain of the specified XenServer Host to the machine that the command

is invoked from, and saving it there as a file with the name file-name.

The host(s) on which this operation should be performed are selected via the standard selection mecha-

nism (see host selectors above). Optional arguments can be any number of the host selectors listed at the

beginning of this section.

Caution

While the xe host-backup command will work if executed on the local host (that is, without a specific

hostname specified), do not use it this way. Doing so would fill up the control domain partition with

the backup file, which would be a bad thing. The command should only be used from a remote off-

host machine where you have space to hold the backup file.

5.4.5.2. host-bugreport-upload

host-bugreport-upload [ host-selector=host-selector value...] [url=destination_url ]

[http-proxy=http-proxy-name ]

Generate a fresh bug report (via xen-bugtool, with all optional files included) and upload to Citrix Support

ftp site or other location.

The host(s) on which this operation should be performed are selected via the standard selection mecha-

nism (see host selectors above). Optional arguments can be any number of the host selectors listed at the

beginning of this section.

Optional parameters are http-proxy: use specified http proxy, and url: upload to this destination url. If

optional parameters are not used, no proxy server is identified and the destination will be the default Citrix

Support ftp site.
