I tried that and that is the error code I get

@Gurve Do i have to enable the xo-cli?

@Gurve Is this for the vm's on the server or the host itself i need the host itself

@TheNorthernLight Well could you do it in a language you know and maybe i would be able to convert it>?

@TheNorthernLight Finally someone gets the reference But what do u think I am doing wrong

@Studmuffn1134 That is what i did and it still does not work I get a status code 200 but it never shuts the host off

@Butcat def shutdown_vm_hosts(host_id,xo_url,auth_token,use_force):
root_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file))
file_path = os.path.join((root_dir),"Certs\fullchain.pem")

headers = {
    'Content-Type':'application/json',
    'Authorization':f'Bearer {auth_token}'
}
data = {
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "method":"host.shutdown",
    "params":[host_id],
    "id":1
}
try:
    response = requests.post(
        xo_url,
        headers=headers,data=json.dumps(data),
        verify=file_path
    )
    print(f"Status code: {response.status_code}")
    
    if response.status_code in [200, 202, 204]:
        print(f"✓ Successfully initiated {'force' if use_force else 'clean'} shutdown")
        return True
    else:
        print(f"Error: {response.text}")
        return False
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Request failed: {e}")
    return False

@Butcat This was very very very helpful. https://192.168.100.30:2223/rest/v0/host/d2f1374c-728d-4905-85cc-e0d7166a3fbf/actions is there no way to turn off a single host through the api. The interesting part is I have no actions in the host section with that host id?

@Studmuffn1134 said in Python help:

Reply

Is it the same code for the hosts or do I have to use different api links for host actions can you help me with that?

@Butcat It worked thank you so much I never really worked with api's before so I am learning

@Studmuffn1134 stromfamily.net'. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#tls-warnings
warnings.warn(
Error: 401 - Unauthorized
That is the output i know about the cert warnings so dont worry about that it is a red herring the 401 though i cant get it to pass any sort of username password or token. I built xo from sources so is there any thing i have to do to enable the rest api and or tell the api to transmit on that dedicated port

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

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

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()

what am i doing wrong ahhahahahaha

How would I build XO 6 from scratch is it similar to the process for XO 5?

@olivierlambert Ihave been tryign to get graceful power off to work with my nas whcih is Truenas by the way but i havent gotten it to work yet oddly i cant seem to get them talking yet

@vmpr So you dont really shutdown the hosts as much as just shutdown the vm's running on the hosts
What is Puppet?
and what i am really worried about is not the vm's themselves per say it is the fact that they are connected over NFS and what would a sudden power loss do to an nfs share would it corrupt it?
