Installing XenTools on Red Hat is very easy;
On amd64:
“rpm -Uhv xe**x86_64.rpm“
Unmount the cdrom by issuing “umount /mnt”
You will then notice that Suspend and XenMotion functionality will be enabled.
This concludes the steps needed to install a fully functional Redhat server VM on XenServer.
Note:
If you are facing any issue with mounting the CD-ROM with \mnt directory of the VM, then you can manually copy the Linux tools from the Xentools.iso to the Linux VM using the WinSCP.
- Attach the XenTools cdrom by selecting VM-> Install XenServer Tools in Xencenter
- Then login as root and enter your password.
- Mount the iso by issuing “mount /dev/xvdd /mnt“.
- Then type the command, cd /mnt/Linux/
- If your redhat install is i386, issue:
On amd64:
“rpm -Uhv xe**x86_64.rpm“
Unmount the cdrom by issuing “umount /mnt”
You will then notice that Suspend and XenMotion functionality will be enabled.
