Xen 6.2 (Citrix)
Hello.
How are you? I want to install Xen on my server and I have a server with 8TB HDDs, I created 10GB partition for installing Xen and created three Raid 5 partitions ( 2TB, 2TB and 2.4 TB), I want to know is 10GB enough for installing Xen? I have a concern and it is License, Is Xen center free? How can I manage Citrix Xen under Linux? Cheers. |

About Linux, I found "http://sourceforge.net/projects/openxenmanager/" I want to Install Xen on 10GB drive and virtualization Linux and Windows on my 2TB partitions, It is logical in your idea? |
Just looking at one of my production servers, the default installation for XenServer is to create a ~4Gb partition for Xen to run in with the rest being set up as storage repositories for the virtual hard disks.
Our preference for Linux guests is to create 32Gb virtual disk partitioned for / /boot and swap and install the OS on that, then if there are further space requirements we create additional virtual disks and mount them accordingly. For example our file storage would have an additional 600Gb drive mounted as /datastore etc. For Windows, we provision a single "C:" drive depending on the estimated space requirements of the server. |
Thank you.
Xen, didn't show my 16GB partition.I read Xen document and understand that Xen minimum partition size is 16 GB and recommended is 60 GB. I created a 60 GB partition and installed Xen on it. I installed Sen center also but I can see my raid partitions :(, I guess that I must mount them. How can I do it?[COLOR="Silver"] ---------- Post added 11-26-13 at 04:44 PM ---------- |
I've no idea what document you're following to install Citrix XenServer, when I've done it I've used the default partitioning strategy and on the 15 or so XenServers I have they all have a 4Gb partition with the rest abstracted as storage.
Edit:Ahhh, to be honest, I haven't installed 6.2 so that may differ from 6.1. |

I've never had to work with existing partitions, at work we only ever install XenServer on "clean" machines, anything we want to transfer we've backed up first and re-imported (usually to a "guest"). |
