   Hi,

   you can try this:

   xe vif-param MAC=$MAC params=all

   It will produce some unneeded data, but still you can find it useful. Or if you don’t need the whole package, you can play with the params option:

   xe vif-param MAC=$MAC params=uuid,vm-name-label

   Regards,

   Thanks for the heads up. I have checked it on several browsers. It is true that I need to fix something to the right of the screen (but I am a bit lazy here…), but the text seems fine on several browsers I’ve tested, following your comments. Anyhow – thanks!
