Balancing's Host Power Management feature, use the
pool-send-wlb-configuration command with the
ParticipatesInPowerManagement=
<true>
\ config:set_host_configuration=
<true>
arguments.
To enable Host Power On using the CLI
1. Run the command:
xe host-set-power-on host=<host uuid>\
power-on-mode=("" , "wake-on-lan",
"iLO", "DRAC","custom")
power-on-config:key=value
For iLO and DRAC the keys are
power_on_ip
,
power_on_user
,
power_on_password
. Use
power_on_password
to specify the password if you are using the secret feature.
To turn on hosts remotely using the CLI
1. Run the command:
xe host-power-on host=<host uuid>
Configuring a Custom Script for XenServer's Host Power On Feature
If your servers' remote-power solution uses a protocol that is not supported by default (such as Wake-On-
Ring or Intel Active Management Technology), you can create a custom Linux Python script to turn on your
XenServer computers remotely. However, you can also can create custom scripts for iLO, DRAC, and Wake-
On-LAN remote-power solutions.
This topic provides information about configuring a custom script for Host Power On using the key/value
pairs associated with the XenServer API call
host.power_on
.
When you create a custom script, run it from the command line each time you want to control power remotely
on XenServer. Alternatively, you can specify it in XenCenter and use the XenCenter UI features to interact
with it.
The XenServer API is documented in the document, the [Citrix XenServer Management API], which is
available from the Citrix Web site.
Note:
Do not modify the scripts provided by default in the /etc/xapi.d/plugins/ directory. You can include new
scripts in this directory, but you should never modify the scripts contained in that directory after installation.

Key/Value Pairs
To use Host Power On, you must configure the host.power_on_mode and host.power_on_config keys. Their
values are provided below.
There is also an API call that lets you set these fields all at once:
void host.set_host_power_on_mode(string mode, Dictionary<string,string> config)
host.power_on_mode

DRAC).
