application to connect to the XenServer* host. Type the root password and type it again to verify
it.

the interface used to connect to the XenCenter*, appears.

used.
15) If the computer has multiple network interfaces, a prompt to select one to be used as the
management NIC for the XenServer* host software appears. Select one, then select “OK”.

manually.
Notes: 1) To be part of a resource pool, XenServer* hosts must have static IP addresses.

recognized, once the installation is complete, apply Update 1 and Update 2, and rescan for the
NIC’s using the following command:
# xe pif-scan host-uuid=<uuid of host>
Once the rescan is complete, run the following command to confirm the new NIC’s are seen:
# xe pif-list
