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
