XenServer create snapshots for all machines
ByetzionXenServer is a wonderful tool. One of the better parts of it is its powerful scripting language, powered by the ‘xe’ command. In order to capture a mass of snapshots, you can either do it manually from the GUI, or scripted. The script supplied below will include shell functions to capture Quiesce snapshots, and it…
HP EVA bug – Snapshot removed through sssu is still there
ByetzionThis is an interesting bug I have encountered: The output of an sssu command should look like this: EVA> DELETE STORAGE “Virtual DisksLinuxoracleSNAP_ORACLE” EVA> It still leaves the snapshot (SNAP_ORACLE in this case) visible, until the web interface is used to press on “Ok”. This happened to me on HP EVA with HP StorageWorks Command…

Bash – Variable indirection – Using variable contents as a(nother) variable name
ByetzionThis was a tricky action. Assume I have a list of variables, obtained by an external source: var1=a var2=b var3=c I cannot use loop and in it the phrase ${var$i} (where i is the integer counter). It just doesn’t work. I used this instead to assign the values to an array: var[$i]=$(eval echo "${var${i}}") That…
Citrix XenServer and DR
ByetzionAssuming your storage is capable of replication, a bunch of VMs could be happily replicated to an alternate location, where you can start them on will (and on crisis, most likely).

Hi there,
Just wanted to say a big thanks for nabrss which I have just installed and am now running :o) With Violet’s own RSS being so flakey its great to find one I can run myself!
Thanks again,
Adi :o)
With pleasure 🙂
