centos安装xenserver xe命令行的方法

在centos上安装xe命令行的作用就不用多说了。首先在xenserver的安装iso中找到xe命令的rpm包（在client_install这个目录下），然后拷贝到centos上。如果直接用rpm命令安装xe-cli-6.1.0-59235p.i686.rpm这个包，会提示依赖错误。这时改用yum命令来安装，它会自动帮我们处理依赖。

[root@cloudstack-ms ~]# rpm -ivh xe-cli-6.1.0-59235p.i686.rpm

这时我们改用yum来安装，它会自动帮我们处理依赖问题

yum install xe-cli-6.1.0-59235p.i686.rpm

安装好后，执行xe命令如果报错

Unhandled exception
File "stunnel.ml", line 137,characters 20-25: Pattern matching failed

这时需要安装stunnel包，使用如下命令安装

yum install stunnel

都安装好后，可以正常执行xe命令，基本用法如下

xe -s ip -u username -pw password command param
-s选项指明xenserver服务器的IP地址
-u选项指明XenServer服务器的用户名
-pw选项指明用户密码
command是xe子命令，如host-list等
param是命令的参数，如uuid=xxxxx等
