− If “Using NTP” is selected, a prompt to identify the time server or servers to use appears.
Check the “NTP is configured by my DHCP server” checkbox, and the time server will be set by
DHCP. Otherwise, enter at least one NTP server name or IP address in the corresponding
fields, then select “OK”.
− If “Manual time entry” is selected, a prompt to manually-enter the time appears. The time will
be entered near the end of the installation.
Warning: Currently, XenServer* assumes the time setting for the server's BIOS is the current
time in UTC, and that the time for the VMs reflects the local time based on the time zone
offset specified.
21) At this point, the installation is ready to proceed. A message explains the installation will format
the primary disk and any other disks selected for VM storage, destroying any data that is currently
on them. Select “Install XenServer” to proceed.
22) A progress bar displays the installation progress. If setting the system date and time manually, a
dialog box appears when the progress bar reaches about 90%. Enter the information in the
corresponding fields and select “OK”.
− If installing from a CD and including support for Linux* VMs, a prompt to insert the Linux* Pack
into the disk drive appears. Eject the main disk, insert the Linux Pack disk, and close the CD
drawer. Select “OK”.
− A screen identifies the Linux Pack disk. Select “Use media” installing the Linux Pack. Another
progress bar is displays. When it reaches 100%, a completion message appears.
23) If support for Linux* VMs will not be installed, a message indicates the XenServer* host is
installed.
Note: If adding Linux* support at a later time, mount the Linux Pack installation CD or ISO image
on the XenServer host and run the “install.sh” script, located in the CD root.
24) Select “Reboot”. After the splash screen, XenServer displays xsconsole, a system configuration
console.
25) To manage the server with XenCenter* or to connect with an SSH terminal client, use the IP
address displayed in the list of management network parameters. See the Install XenCenter
section below for instructions.
26) To access a local shell from xsconsole, press the “Alt” + “F3” keys.
27) To return to xsconsole, press the “Alt” + “F1” keys.
