All I want to do is be able to send force shut offs

Am i able to get help here?

def force_shutdown_vm(vm_uuid):
    XO_URL = "https://192.168.100.30:2223/"
    username = "ThePlague"
    password = "NO"
    context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
    try:
        session = XenAPI.Session(XO_URL,ignore_ssl=True)
        session.set_ssl_context(context)
        session.xenapi.login_with_password(username,password)
        vm_ref = session.xenapi.VM.get_by_uuid(vm_uuid)
        session.xenapi.VM.Clean_shutdown(vm_ref)
        print("The VM Shutdown Successfully.")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
    finally:
        session.xenapi.session.logout()

Hi,

You are using the XAPI Python SDK, meant to be used against a host, not XO.

Two choices: keep using that but point it to the pool master directly OR use XO API instead (eg the REST API). I would advise for the option 2.

@olivierlambert How would I do that with the rest api?

Well, you gave such little details that I have no idea about how to answer your question.

If it's just sending a command to force shutdown a VM, you can just do this with the appropriate action in the REST API. See https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/restapi for more details

@olivierlambert import requests
import os
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

Path to the certificate

root_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file))
file_path = os.path.join(root_dir, "Certs\fullchain.pem")

Define the Xen Orchestra API endpoint

Define the ID of the VM you want to shut down (you can get this from the XO UI or API)

VM_ID = '573914d5-69c4-9041-6d3f-6d01f6d29d69'

def make_get_request():
USERNAME = 'ThePlague'
PASSWORD = 'NO'
XO_SERVER_URL = 'https://nordstromfamily.net:2223/rest/v0'
BEARER_TOKEN = "NO"
try:
# Make the GET request using Basic Authentication
response = requests.get(XO_SERVER_URL, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(USERNAME, PASSWORD), verify=False) # Set verify=False if you have SSL issues

    if response.status_code == 200:
        print("Response from the API:", response.json())  # Print the API response (if JSON)
    else:
        print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")  # Print error if authentication fails

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Request failed: {e}")

if name == 'main':
make_get_request()
Would code like that work i keep getting an authorizaiton error an i know for a fact that my username password or token are working
