<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">But in my case, I need to perform steps of provisioning of VM’s independent of Citirix XenServer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The usecase should be something like : I login to my xen host/localhost from my vnc and from the vnc console I need to provision/create a VM which uses a specific
static ip address instead of dhcp using command-line.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
