A Logica Gold Award

This year has started out great.

All the hard work, extra hours and perfectionism to extend my Virtualization knowledge, adapt a Citrix Architect role and share my knowledge internally through numerous presentations and meetings has been noticed for sure by my Logica manager. I already received a big compliment on the quality of my Citrix XenApp design document by one of our clients, so knew I adapted to the Architect role. To top that off I have been rewarded with a Logica Gold Award (Employee Value Proposition “Committed”) for my work ethics, motivation and commitment.

I’m very proud to have received this award and will continu to have fun in my architect role, share my knowledge and keep my designs at the high quality level our clients deserve.I’m looking forward to the journey I’ll take in my personal growth this year and the new challenge I took on to share my knowledge even further by creating an internal workshop for Citrix XenServer.

Logica Gold Award - Committed The Logica Diamond Award program acknowledges team and individual actions that not only have a positive influence on the company, but who’s behavior reflects the Employee Value Proposition and are in line with “be brilliant together”. A Gold award is granted to an individual or team that has accomplished exceptional and/or innovative work and that shows behavior as elucidated in the Employee Value Proposition.

xe.exe CommandLine Interface

A XenServer can be managed with the xe Commandline Interface (CLI). Which can be run locally at the command prompt of the XenServer Console within XenCenter.
The ex.exe is also part of the XenCenter installation and allows and administrator to remotely manage a XenServer from the command prompt of the Windows desktop. With the CLI you can easily script some of the common tasks to perform on a XenServer.

Each xe.exe command starts with the connection settings for the XenServer (Pool Master), followed by the specific command(s) to be performed.
 

C:\Program Files\Citrix\XenCenter>xe.exe -s [xenserver] -u [user] -pw [password] [xe-commands]

 
Which uses the following syntax:

  • xenserver: ip-address or name of the XenServer (or Pool Master).
  • user: name of account used to connect to the XenServer.
  • password: password of the used account.
  • xe-commands: the commands to be performed after the connection to the XenServer (Pool Master) is made.

The rest of this post contains some examples of the different xe-commands that can be used.
