Installation sources tab
When the XenVM is created, you specify an installation source from which the XenVM‘s
operating system is to be installed (see section “VM administration” on page 130). Possible
installation sources are available in the local library on the Server Unit (see section
“Managing XenVM devices on Server Unit x86” on page 188). You must assign an
installation source which is to be used for installing the XenVM to the XenVM as a virtual
DVD device.
Ê Select Systems → [<se server>(SE<model>) →] <unit> (SU<x86>) → Virtual machines →
XenVM → <XenVM-Name>, Installation sources tab.
The Installation sources tab displays the installation sources of the XenVM. During an
installation process, the installation configuration file is also displayed if required. You can
add, replace or remove an installation source retroactively:
Assign installation source
The XenVM always boots from the installation source with the lowest virtual device number
(e.g. from hda or xvda). How the other installation sources are handled is decided by the
guest system.
Ê Click Assign installation source (above the table) and enter the required settings in the
Assign installation source dialog box.
The new installation source is immediately added to the installation sources of the XenVM.
Switching the installation source
The installation source can also be changed during ongoing operation. You can only assign
no installation source if you are using a fully virtualized guest system (Windows or Other
operating system).
The virtual drive is retained (possible also as an empty drive). Access from the active guest
system is immediately possible (e.g. for calling the setup to install an application).
