Installing XenTools on Ubuntu is very easy;
On amd64:
“dpkg -i /mnt/Linux/xe-guest-utilities*amd64.deb“
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 Ubuntu 10.04 server VM on XenServer 5.6.
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 become root by issuing “sudo su“, then enter your password.
- Mount the iso by issuing “mount /dev/cdrom /mnt“.
- If your Ubuntu install is i386, issue:
On amd64:
“dpkg -i /mnt/Linux/xe-guest-utilities*amd64.deb“
Unmount the cdrom by issuing “umount /mnt”
You will then notice that Suspend and XenMotion functionality will be enabled.
