xe vm-list, filter on uuid of several machines with one command?

[Jason Davis1709157056]

I'm trying to pull out a list of certain VMs using xe vm-list, by the uuid of each. Is there a way to search multiple uuids in the same command? I've tried all sorts of iterations with no luck:

 

xe vm-list uuid="abc123,def456"

 

xe vm-list uuid=abc123 + def456 (etc, etc.)

 

Thanks in advance.

No wildcard support in that xe command. You could just do an "xe vm-list params=uuid" and pipe the output to  some form of grep to isolate certain UUIDs using egrep wildcard syntax, for example.

VMS=`xe vm-list | grep -E 'a40a|0146' | awk '{print $5}'`
for VMSU in $VMS
do
  xe vm-list uuid=$VMSU
done
 

Result:

uuid ( RO)           : 2a698fe1-a40a-3295-92a1-67d1662604ac
     name-label ( RW): PC1
    power-state ( RO): halted

uuid ( RO)           : b0b5b91e-0146-19ac-f8ab-8ea2450a6c31
     name-label ( RW): PC2
    power-state ( RO): halted
