XEN-LIST-IMAGES(8) Perl Programmers Reference Guide XEN-LIST-IMAGES(8)NAME
xen-list-images - List all the created and configured Xen images.
SYNOPSIS
xen-list-image [options]
Help Options:
--help Show this scripts help information.
--manual Read this scripts manual.
--version Show the version number and exit.
Testing options:
--test Specify an alternate Xen configuration directory.
OPTIONS --help Show the scripts help information.
--manual Read the manual.
--test This flag causes the script to load the Xen configuration files from a different directory than the default of /etc/xen.
--version Show the version number and exit.
DESCRIPTION
xen-list-images is a simple script which will display all the
Xen images which have been created.
This works by iterating over all files matching the pattern
/etc/xen/*.cfg which is what the xen-create-image script would
create.
For each instance which has been created we'll display the name,
and then either the IP address configured, or "DHCP" to denote
a dynamic host.
TODO
It should be possible to determine the disk(s) used by the images,
and then display their sizes.

DESCRIPTION
xen-delete-image is a simple script which allows you to delete
Xen instances which have previously been created by xen-create-image.
You must be root to run this script as it removes the Xen configuration
file from /etc/xen and potentially removes LVM and EVMS volumes.
(When invoked with the '--test' flag the script will continue running,
but will fail to remove anything which the user does not have permission
to delete.)
LOOPBACK EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have three images 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz', stored
beneath /home/xen the first two may be deleted via:
xen-delete-image --dir=/home/xen foo bar
You may also delete them by running:
xen-delete-image --dir=/home/xen --hostname=foo --hostname=bar
(The matching Xen configuration files beneath /etc/xen will also be
removed.)
LVM EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have the volume group 'skx-vol' containing three
Xen instances 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz' the first two may be deleted via:
xen-delete-image --lvm=skx-vol foo bar
This will remove the volumes 'foo-disk', 'foo-swap', 'bar-disk',
and 'bar-swap'.
Note that if the images were created with "--noswap" then the swap
volumes will not be present, so will not need to be deleted.
The Xen configuration files will also be removed from beneath /etc/xen.
EVMS EXAMPLE
Assuming that you have the container 'mycontainer' containing three
Xen instances 'foo', 'bar', and 'baz' the first two may be deleted via:
xen-delete-image --evms=lvm2/mycontainer --hostname=foo --hostname=bar
This will remove the volumes 'foo-disk', 'foo-swap', 'bar-disk',
and 'bar-swap'.
Note that if the images were created with "--noswap" then the swap
volumes will not be present, so will not need to be deleted.
The Xen configuration files will also be removed.
