Commands for working with VBDs (Virtual Block Devices).

A VBD is a software object that connects a VM to the VDI, which represents the contents of the virtual disk. The
VBD has the attributes which tie the VDI to the VM (is it bootable, its read/write metrics, and so on), while the VDI
has the information on the physical attributes of the virtual disk (which type of SR, whether the disk is shareable,
whether the media is read/write or read only, and so on).

The  VBD  objects  can  be  listed  with  the  standard  object  listing  command  (xe  vbd-list),  and  the  parameters
manipulated with the standard parameter commands. See 

for details.
