vdi-snapshot

 uuid=

<uuid_of_the_vdi>

 [driver-params=

<params>

]

Produces a read-write version of a VDI that can be used as a reference for backup and/or template creation
purposes. You can perform a backup from a snapshot rather than installing and running backup software inside
the VM. The VM can continue running while external backup software streams the contents of the snapshot to
the backup media. Similarly, a snapshot can be used as a "gold image" on which to base a template. A template
can be made using any VDIs.

The  optional 

  map  parameter  can  be  used  for  passing  extra  vendor-specific  configuration

information to the back end storage driver that the VDI is based on. See the storage vendor driver documentation
for details.

A clone of a snapshot should always produce a writable VDI.

vdi-unlock

 uuid=

<uuid_of_vdi_to_unlock>

 [force=true]

Attempts to unlock the specified VDIs. If 

 is passed to the command, it will force the unlocking

operation.

Commands for working with VIFs (Virtual network interfaces).

The  VIF  objects  can  be  listed  with  the  standard  object  listing  command  (xe  vif-list),  and  the  parameters
