Tool to list XCP/Xenserver networks

My newest XCP tool is to list networks in a quick concise manner. By default lsnetworks shows the network name, the bridge it's associated with, the VLAN tag (if there is one), the VMs that have a network interface on it and the number of that interface. 

It can be found in the xenapi-admin-tools github.

 

 

 

Because XCP/Xenserver relies so much on UUID numbers I've provided a -u option which lists every object by UUID number if it has one. This won't be quite as useful as an interactive tool but if you're copy and pasting UUID's into xe commands this will give you a quick summary of them in relation to networks.

A disk free command for Xen Cloud Platform

XCP and Xenserver store their Virtual Disk Images on storage repository. To see how much space you have on your LVM or lvmoisci storage repositories from the commandline can be quite a chore so I wrote a df command for storage repositories. My dfsr command mimics the output of the Linux df command with the human readable flag set (-h). All values will be printed in Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes and so on. It shows the size of the repository, how much is used, how much is available, the percent used and the Storage Repository type. 

 Get it from my Virtualization downloads section.
