I have a dedicated server in a data center and I want to install XenServer for virtualization.
XenServer will be running 2 or 3 virtual servers, all of which will be using Public IP's along with a remotely accessible SSH tunnel.
I want to know how I can manage the XenServer virtual machines, such as rebooting, installing Operating Systems etc with a GUI.
I realize I can burn a DVD of the ISO for any OS (ubuntu, server 2012 etc) to install a new VM but this seems like a waste. I just installed XenServer 6.1 and would rather just copy the .iso onto a flash drive on my windows laptop, plug it into XenServer (I can see it in XenCenter under removable storage) and install from there instead of burning a few DVDs.
I'm running both Ubuntu server and desktop as virtual guests on XenServer, and when trying to install XenServer tools, it complains that the current tools package is not ready for 12.04. Is Ubuntu working on a package? Where can I obtain it?
Thank you,
Xitron
I want a paravirtualized ZFS server for Xenserver 6.1 supporting a 6+ TB zpool.
The old templates for Xenserver 6.0.2 and FreeBSD 9 don't work.
I have been unsuccessful ("Not a Xen-ELF image...") at making my own FBSD9, XS6.1 paravirtual combo, even though I've tried every "step by step" tutorial I've found on the intarwebs.
Hello: I am trying to install a CentOS v5.4 Virtual machine onto my Xenserver. We have a bunch of Windows VM's that work perfectly, but for some reason I cannot install any Cento... [by arifdhalla]

I have a XenServer, and XenServer runs on a RedHat linux system.
So i would start my xenserver with wake on lan.
I configured the network card with the ethtool: the option "Wake-on: g"
The option for wake on lan in the bios and in the properties of the xen server is also on.
When i shutdown the xenserver, the network card go
I'm running XenServer on an Dell R610 and am running into a catch-22. During install from DVD, CentOS can't find the DVD package catalogue. It's a reported error for some, XenServer + CentOS6 + DVD install in some hardware configurations = failed install. Yes, I checked the MD5 and let the disc test pass.
I have a XenServer 5.6 Free setup with 5 VMs (Windows and Linux) using about 1.5TB of directly attached storage.
Because our virtualisation needs have grown a bit, we currently are preparing a faster XenServer 6.0 Free machine with more RAM and a more storage.
Citrix announces version 6.1 of XenServer – a complete server virtualization platform built on the open source Xen hypervisor.
