windows 2008 for xen server (xen.org)

Any version of Windows 2008 will be suitable for installation. (except OEM).

Just mount/attach the ISO (iso of the cdrom) to the virtual machine, boot the VM, and continue with the installation.

Hi

OK, do I need some extra software, drivers or whatever to get windows 2008 running on my xen server?

Thanks.

No, you just need to install the XenServer Tools after you have completed the installation.

For each VM:

    Log on to pXenCenterComputer and click Start > All Programs > Citrix XenCenter.
    Start the VM on which you are going to install XenServer Tools and log on.
    In the XenCenter resources pane, select the VM and click VM > Install XenServer Tools on the menu bar.
    Click the Console tab in the properties pane to access the VM desktop and click Install XenServer Tools in the Install XenServer Tools dialog box.
    Read and accept the license agreement, and click Next.
    On the Choose Install Location page, accept the default location and click Install.
    When the installation is complete, select Reboot now and click Finish. The tools are installed when the VM restarts.
    To finalize the installation of the operating systems, apply all the recommended Microsoft updates after you have finished creating the VMs.

But, I don't use xen-citrix, I use xen.org the open source http://www.xen.org/

I have read on google that if you use xen.org it's not easy as citrix.. that's what I ask on this forum..

Thanks..

It's the same you just install the XenServer Tools after you have completed the installation.

If you look at the http://www.xen.org/, you will also see it states

hanccocka,

believe me.. I have never heard before I could use the xen-critix tools on xen.org. Maybe I'm not up2date with xen's stuff, sorry If I'm wrong. I tried to download XenServer Tools but no sucess. Please, can you tell me where to get it?

Also, the xen-dom0 has not xwindows install, is it necessary to get  install and get windows 2008 running?

You don't use the Xen Citrix Tools, but you need to install the Xen Tools after you have installed the OS. (to improve performance)

Umm.. got it... so to finish the question.. where can I get the xenserver tools?

Incorprated into Xen Server, when you connect to Xen Server to control the VM Server, you install the tools.

:-) hanccocka.. really sorry but don't get you... why do you talked about xen server? What I have is a debian 6 running a xen4 kernel:

# uname -a

I have not citrix xen server  anywhere here, so I can't get the xen server tools. Sorry again, but I believe there's a misunderstanding here.

Do you understand me? Or I'am I wrong?
