Shut Down VM
List VMs.
xe host-list
xe vm-list resident-on=<uuid_of_host>
xe vm-shutdown uuid=<UUID from step 3> force=true
If this doesn't work, try:
xe vm-reset-powerstate uuid=<UUID from step 3> force=true
Get the id:
list_domains
And destroy the domain:
/opt/xensource/debug/xenops destroy_domain -domid <DOMID from step 7>

Symptoms or Error
After a failed “Move VM”, “Copy VM”, or “Export VM” operation, the Virtual Machine (VM) being operated cannot start. Following is the error message displayed:
User-added image
Solution
To resolve this error, complete the following procedure:
Open the Console to the XenServer that is hosting the VM and run the following command:
list_domains
All the VMs running on that server are displayed.
Copy the UUID corresponding to id=0.
This is the UUID of the Control Domain. The Control Domain is a privileged Virtual Machine that handles all hyper calls received from running VMs to perform all virtual tasks.
Run the following command to obtain the UUID of the VBD (Virtual Block Device) object linking the Control Domain:
xe vbd-list vm-uuid=
Run the following commands to unplug and destroy the VBD:
xe vbd-unplug uuid=
xe vbd-destroy uuid=
Make a local iso repository
xe sr-create name-label=LocalISO type=iso device-config:location=/var/opt/xen/ISO_Store device-config:legacy_mode=true content-type=iso
This creates a UUID for the new directory:
e94e25bb-bcdc-801b-b62a-b51b686a3bdc
Import
xe vm-import filename=/mnt/blah.xva
USB
Attack
Put in the USB.
Get the USB's uuid.
xe pusb-list
Make the USB recognised as a device.
xe pusb-param-set uuid=
For passthrough, use this:
xe pusb-param-set uuid= passthrough-enabled=true
Attach to host
