Reference or documentation for Citrix XenServer Powershell cmdlets

Question

I just started writing powershell scripts for Citrix XenServer. However, I can only find code snippets and this cmdlet poster on the internet.

Where can I find a full documentation with explanations and possible parameters directly from Citrix? All APIs and references available are only valid for the command line.

Thank you!

Answer 1

The best I could find was a reference for the underlying SDK. The cmdlets are apparently implemented using the original XenServer management API, and that API is documented. You can find a reference for it here:

http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX130426

I couldn't find anything more than that reference poster for the cmdlets however.

It's not ideal, but you can use .NET Reflector to look at the underlying code of the cmdlets to see how they are using the XenServer management API and then cross reference the docs for that API.
