Installing Citrix 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 releases, as of March 2012).
You may follow one of the methods below, depending on what you choose to install and how:
Installing Citrix XenServer using the CD
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 instructions.
To get a free edition of the Xenserver license you will need to sign up for an account at citrix.com
For more details
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
Installing Citrix XenServer using PXE
For steps to create a PXE server to install XenServer take a look at: How to PXE Install XenServer.
Installing XCP
There are two main ways to get XCP:
- Packages in Debian/Ubuntu (and soon CentOS/RedHat)
- Binary distribution similar to XenServer
Install XCP Distribution
You can download XCP here:
Notes:
- Install steps are almost identical to XenServer (You do PXE following similar steps to those of XenServer)
- If you want a feature set similar to XenServer 6.0, then take a look at XCP 1.5 beta
- If you want a more stable system, try XCP 1.1
Installing XCP on Debian/Ubuntu
you can get an XCP-like system that includes the XCP XAPI toolstack by installing the xcp-xapi package on Ubuntu or Debian by following these instructions: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Project_Kronos
Installing XCP on Fedora/CentOS
Coming soon. For more details see: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Project_Zeus_Fedora_Spec
