Server-rental-in-chennai

I Newly had to install XenServer onto a Dell R710.

This is an illegal install, Xen Server is now open source so this will be good .

However in a illegal install renew the xenserver has to be down via the assuage .

Note:

I had problems in installing on to the R710 orginally , I kept getting an hopeless spam message. Stating something about the service separation being unclear on partition 2 . yet I fixed the issues by recreate the RAID5 array (PERC H700) and then reinitialise the array. Then I could feel better to install XenServer.

Once installed is fineshed , I was able to browse to the XenServer IP I authorize via http, and I download XenCenter.

Once downloaded, I installed XenCenter on my Windows 7 x64 machine.

I then fixed the XenServer to XenCenter.

Then bonded to of the NICs together in an active-passive format (for redundancy). This took the next setup I choose during installation, and applied it across the bonded nics. It was very easy to do.

There were 2 hot fixes to apply and this is where it started to depart from easyland.

With the illegal version they do not support installation of updates very the XenCenter, which would have been nice, you have to use the command line. I am not familiar with XenServer so this process was a bit alien to me.

  1. Download the hotfixes and unzip the files.
  2. Connect to XenServer via SFTP
  3. I then changed to the \tmp folder and created a \tmp\updates folder, and uploaded the hot fixes into that folder. You only need the *.xsupdate files, not the *.tar.bz2 files.
  4. Now we have to fix to the pool database. In XenCenter goto the assuage . Change directory to the \tmp\updates folder.
  5. xe patch-upload filename=
  6. Record the UUID that is returned. Repeat step 5 for however many updates have been uploaded.
  7. Run xe patch-list, this will list out the updates and you can check.
  8. Run xe host-list, this will list out the UUID of the hosts. Not these UUIDs as these will be needed.
  9. Now run xe patch-apply uuid= host-uuid=
  10. Repeat for all updates and then reboot the host server.
  11. Once the reboot has finished you should be able to review the updates in XenCenter under the General tab for the host server, under the updates section.
