Citrix XenServer from HP

Getting Started Guide

Overview

This guide outlines the basic setup, installation, and configuration steps required to

begin using your Citrix XenServer from HP. A first time wizard-based setup guides you

through initial installation and configuration, and a GUI provides ongoing virtual

machine monitoring and management.

To provide active hardware management using HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), HP

SIM Agents are installed with Citrix XenServer. These agents proactively surface

hardware monitoring data to provide the most up-to-date server state information

possible.

The Citrix XenServer from HP Getting Started Guide is for Citrix XenServer; HP Select

Edition, Citrix Essentials for XenServer, HP Enterprise Edition; or Citrix Essentials for

XenServer, HP Platinum Edition. The accompanying ISO installs Citrix XenServer. The

ISO includes a license for Citrix XenServer, HP Select Edition and a 90 day trial

license for PVC. Licenses for XenServer, HP Select Edition; Essentials for XenServer, HP

Enterprise Edition; and Citrix Essentials for XenServer, HP Platinum Edition are

purchased separately.

Citrix XenServer, HP Select Edition license offers a low cost, all-in-one solution with

Citrix XenServer from HP, HP PVC for single server management, and XenCenter for

virtual machine management across multiple servers. HP PVC enables simplified

creation and management of the local virtualization environment and the virtual

machines. Citrix XenServer enables the creation of an unlimited number of virtual

machines per server with up to 64-bit MB memory and eight virtual CPUs per VM.

Essentials for XenServer, HP Enterprise Edition license enables all of the features of

XenServer and adds historical performance reporting, high availability, and work flow

orchestration. Essentials for XenServer, HP Enterprise Edition includes HP PVC for

single server management and XenCenter for virtual machine management across

multiple servers.

Essentials for XenServer, HP Platinum Edition license includes everything available with

Essentials for XenServer, HP Enterprise Edition and adds Citrix provisioning server and

Automated Lab Management.

Setting up and configuring HP ProLiant

servers to host virtual machines

1. Choose one of the following destinations options for installing the Citrix

XenServer:

•Any HP supported hard drive

•Secure Digital (SD) memory card

oHP 4GB SD flash media

oHP part number 580387-B21

oHP spare kit part number 583306-001

•Flash media (USB flash drive)

2. Download the installation software from Software Depot home

(http://software.hp.com/ ), and then select Virtualization.

3. Burn the installation ISO to a CD-ROM, or move the ISO image to a location

accessible using the Virtual Media capabilities of iLO 2.

NOTE: The CD-ROM is bootable. Boot the server and choose to

install the Citrix XenServer from HP product either to the hard

drive or to flash media (USB key or SD card). The flash media

must be installed into the internal port on your ProLiant server.

4. Set up the server hardware, and if desired, connect your server to the network. If

installing to flash media (USB or SD Card), you must install the flash media into

the internal port on your ProLiant server.

For specific instructions on how to access the internal flash media (USB or SD

card) port, see the server documentation included with your server.

NOTE: The server must have access to either locally attached disk

storage or a supported shared storage device. For advanced

storage configurations, see the documentation for the remote

storage devices and the storage chapter in the Citrix XenServer

Reference Manual.

For hardware information, see the server documentation included with your

server.

5. Access the server console in one of the following ways:

oLocally—Use your local keyboard and monitor.

oRemotely—Use iLO Integrated Remote Console remotely from a network

client using a web browser.

Remote setup requires HP iLO 2 Advanced Pack, which is sold separately for

HP ProLiant ML and DL servers. The remote graphics capability is included

with BL servers.

IMPORTANT: After you boot up the server, you must press the

correct function key when prompted to enter setup mode to

configure boot order, configure hardware virtualization, and

configure iLO and the Smart Array controller. Familiarize yourself

with the following steps and prompts. Each prompt is available

for only a few seconds during the boot process.

If you are installing to the hard drive, proceed to step 8.

6. To enable flash media (USB flash drive or SD card):

a. Configure your flash device to boot before the hard drive. By default, flash

media is already configured to boot before the hard drive.

b. Boot server, and then press F9 to enter ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

c. Scroll down to Standard Boot Order (IPL), and then press Enter.

d. To modify the boot order, highlight the device you want to move, and then

press Enter.

e. A menu appears to change the device boot order. Ensure the flash media is

set to boot before the hard drive.

7. Enable CPU virtualization.

a. If you are not in ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU), boot the server, and then

press F9.

b. Scroll down to Advanced Options, and then press Enter.

c. Scroll down to Processor Options, and then press Enter.

d. Scroll down to the servers supported processor (either Intel® Virtualization

Technology or AMD® Virtualization), and then press Enter.

e. At the next screen highlight Enable, and then press Enter.

f. Save configuration changes, and then exit. The server reboots.

8. To configure iLO network parameters, directory settings, global settings, and user

accounts, when prompted at POST, press F8.

For more information, see the HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide.
