Installing XenServer
First you need to decide what XenServer you will install:
- Citrix XenServer: a commercial product and the only enterprise-class, cloud-proven virtualization platform that delivers the critical features of live migration and centralized multi-server management at no cost
- XCP: the open source version
If using Essex, you are best using XenServer 6.0.2 or XCP 1.1 (the latest stable, as of March 2012)).
Install Citrix XenServer
To help install Citrix XenServer, take a look at the official "Installation Guide" or "Quick Installation Guide" for your version of XenServer:
- http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/6.0.0/1.0/en_gb/QuickStartGuide_BasicVersion.html#server_installation
- http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenserver/xs-where-are-docs-wr.html
Install from ISO
To get the XenServer CD go to: http://www.citrix.com/XenServer and click "Try It", then select the "XenServer free edition".
Once you have the ISO downloaded and burnt onto a CD, put the CD in your server, and follow the on screen instruction.
See the above install docs for more details.
Install from PXE
Look here for steps to create a PXE server to install Xenserver in your datacenter.
Install XCP
There are two main ways to get XCP:
- Packages in Debian/Ubuntu (and soon CentOS/RedHat)
- Binary distribution similar to XenServer
Installing inside Debian/Ubuntu
Use the latest SID, and do:
- apt-get install xcp-xapi
Then read the README.Debian
= Full Binary XCP Distro
You can download XCP here:
