XCP-ng xapi plugins

This repo hosts all the extra plugins installed in a XCP-ng host in /etc/xapi.d/plugins.

Return format

A plugin should respect this return format:

• Success: return a string (can be empty) or a JSON string representing the result of the command given to the plugin
• Error: raise a XenAPIPlugin.Failure describing the error, to do that: either raise the XenAPIPlugin.Failure exception directly or use error_wrapped from xcpngutils

XCP-ng ZFS pool list

A xapi plugin to discover ZFS pools present on the host.

list_zfs_pools:
