Re: [Xen-users] xend http interface
 
Anand a écrit :
 
Thanks Jean for the information.
 I tried the the http://xendomain:8000/xend/domain/?detail=1, it shows 
me exactly the same as http://xendomain:8000/xend/domain
 
 If you try from a web-browser it's normal :) try to do it with a simple 
network client (like telnet) :
telnet xenserver 8000
GET /xend/domain HTTP/1.1
will return you a list like this (dom0 domain-name1 domain-name2 ......)
AND
telnet xenserver 8000
GET /xend/domain/?detail=1 HTTP/1.1
will return you a list like this
((domain (domid 0)(uuid ......) .......)(domain (domid 1)............))
 It's just because your browser puts a header like this : Accept: 
text/html that makes xend recognize it as a browser and not another client
 
 I will appreciate if you can you explain these parameter below ? Are 
they related to cpu time scheduling for the domain ?
op=cpu_sedf_set&latency=nnn
&slice=nnn&period=nnn&weight=nnn&extratime=n
: réglage des paramètres sedf (xm sched-sedf)
 
 
 Sorry i wrote it into french, cpu_sedf_set (and get too) is related to 
cpu time scheduling for the domain and the different parameters are 
quickly explained on xen wiki : 
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Scheduling (in the section sedf-scheduler)

    I've not the complete list of commands for http interface, I try to
    discover them when I need to use it ... If someone has this list
    or know
    where to find it, i would appreciate too to get this ...
    However, the command I already found and use with the HTTP
    interface are
    those :
    GET requests :
    /xend/domain/ AND /xend/domain/?detail=1 : to get a list of all
    started
    nodes (detailed or not)
    /xend/node : to get informations on the node on which xen runs (free
    memory, number of cpu, ...)
    POST requests on /xend/domain :
    parameters : op=create&config=s-expression : to create a paused domU
    with his config urlencoded in "s-expression" (s-expr = (domain (memory
    128)(device (vbd (dev xvda1)(uname phy:device)(mode w))) ............)
    POST requests on /xend/domain/domain-name :
    parameters : op=wait_for_devices : command to wait for the devices
    of a
    newly created domU before unpausing it
    parameters : op=unpause : unpause a domU (xm unpause)
    parameters : op=pause : pause a domU (xm pause)
    parameters : op=destroy : destroy a domU (xm destroy)
    parameters : op=shutdown&reason=(halt|poweroff|reboot) : 3 different
    ways to shutdown your domU
    parameters :
    op=cpu_sedf_set&latency=nnn&slice=nnn&period=nnn&weight=nnn&extratime=n
    : réglage des paramètres sedf (xm sched-sedf)
    I think it's possible to do migrations, save and restore, and many
    other
    things, but i have not searched how to use those commands
    Another think to know when using the HTTP interface is that xend acts
    differently depending on the headers (especially the Accept: HTTP
    header) : if you don't put such a header, it will answer you with
    s-expression (useful if you are developping something over xen for
    example) and if you put one, you'll get an HTML formatted answer
    (useful
    to read it, even if the s-expressions mostly contains more
    informations).
