Changing the Pool Master in Citrix XenServer pool

To change the pool master in Citrix Xenserver 6.2, follow the below procedure:

You can do this only from command line.

Step 1: List your XenServer hosts:

# xe host-list

Using the list above, you can note down the uuid of the xenserver host which will be designated as the new pool master.

Step 2: Now designate a new pool master by supplying the uuid associated with the desired host:

# xe pool-designate-new-master host-uuid=<uuid>

Note: You’ll probably lose connection to the pool at this point, but that’s normal behavior.

Step 3: Once XenCenter reconnects, it will ask you to connect with the new pool master.

Step 4: Also you can check the new pool master my typing the following command

# xe pool-list
