This Xtravirt white paper details the process of performing a basic installation of Citrix XenServer 5, XenCenter and updating the XenServer using XenCenter.

Overview

A XenServer installation consists of two separate, physical computers; one being the XenServer host and the other to run the XenCenter management application.

XenServer is a 64-bit, x86 server-class platform devoted to hosting multiple Virtual Machines (VM’s).  XenCenter is a Windows based client application that runs on a remote machine and is used to manage XenServer hosts. While the XenServer machine must be dedicated to the task of hosting VM’s, XenCenter can run on any general-purpose machine, alongside other applications.
