2.Once the VM is created, goto the “Properties” >> “ Startup Options” of the VM and change the boot order in such a way to make the VM boot from the DVD.

3.Reboot the VM, the VM will be booting from the DVD drive.

4.Hit on the “Install” option in the Debian boot screen.

5.Select Language, Keyboard Layout etc.

6.On Network configuration wizard, Select “Manual Network Configuration”

13.Once the installation installation is completed, remove the DVD from the drive and boot the server.

14.Enter in to the server with the password and username that you have created during the installation process.

15.You will now be able to access the serverv through ssh.

16.Connect to the VM via SSH

17.Install Vim “apt-get install vim”

18.aptitude install linux-image-xen-amd64 OR aptitude search xen and select the latest DomU amd64 kernel image starting with linux-image.

19.Cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and note down the following parameters.

21.Shutdown the VM

22.Now login to the Hardware node where the VM resides. We have some steps to be done here now.

23.Copy the following script to “makepv.sh” in /root.

25.Make the script excecutable. Chmod 755 makepv.sh

26.run the script with your Vmname as argument.

./makepv.sh testvm

27.You will be asked for the parameters that we have noted from the grub.cfg file. Please provide the same.

28.Also, you will be asked for confirmation. Hit “Y” whenever you are asked for confirmation.

29. Once completed, boot the VM.

30.Now put the iso image labeled “xentools.iso” in the DVD drive of the server through Xen citrix.

31.Mount the drive through VM. Ssh to the VM and mount the iso image using the following command.

mount /dev/disk/by-label/XenServer\\x20Tools /mnt

32. Goto the directory named “Linux”

cd Linux

33. You can find a debian packages named the following:

xe-guest-utilities_5.6.100-647_amd64.deb
xe-guest-utilities_5.6.100-647_i386.deb

34.Choose the one that matches your VM architecture.

35.Install it using the command

dpkg -i xe-guest-utilities_5.6.100-647_amd64.deb

36.Reboot the serverv once it is completed.

37.An easier method to check whether the VM is HVM or PV is to check the boot options. HVM supports network boot, DVD and HDD boot. Whereas PV supports only DVD or HDD boot.

38.You can check it through VM >> “Properties” >> “Startup Options”

39. If you found any issues with Console access. Exit the Xencenter and launch it again.

1.Create a new VM using the following steps through XenCenter.
a)In Template, Select “Other installation Media”
b)Give a “Server name”
c)In Installation Media, select “Install from ISO library or DVD” >> Select “Ubuntu_10.10_mini.iso”
d)Assign Memory, Disk Space, CPU’s and Network Card to the server.

2.Once the VM is created, goto the “Properties” >> “ Startup Options” of the VM and change the boot order in such a way to make the VM boot from the DVD.

3.Reboot the VM, the VM will be booting from the DVD drive.
