Description
This article will explain how to perform basic tasks through the CLI at the instance level on instances hosted on NetScaler SDX appliances.
Instructions
1. First we need to get the XenServer IP address in order to SSH into it. Go to the shell of the SVM and run networkconfig:
bash-2.05b# networkconfig
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NetScaler SDX initial network configuration.
This menu allows you to set and modify the initial IPv4 network addresses.
The current value is displayed in brackets ([]).
Selecting the listed number allows the address to be changed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Management Service Host Name [nssdx-mgmt]:
2. Management Service IPv4 address [10.25.141.65]:
3. XenServer IPv4 address [10.25.141.15]:
4. Netmask [255.255.255.0]:
5. Gateway IPv4 address [10.25.141.1]:
6. Default Interface [0/1]:
7. DNS IPv4 Address [8.8.8.8]:
8. Cancel and quit.
9. Save and quit.

On the GUI of the SDX, go to System > Network Configuration for the XenServer IP.
2. After we get the XenServer IP, we SSH to it from the SVM shell by:
bash-2.05b# ssh 10.25.141.15
[root@netscaler-sdx ~]# xe vm-list
uuid ( RO) : 0a440743-8e5f-0cfa-b951-31ec5e295488
name-label ( RW): vijayn-11.0
power-state ( RO): running
4. With the uuid of the VM we could perform the following tasks:
uuid ( RO) : 0a440743-8e5f-0cfa-b951-31ec5e295488
name-label ( RW): vijayn-11.0
power-state ( RO): running
