Install Administrator Console<br />
<strong>XenEnterprise</strong> Administrator Console is a JAVA based application required to manage one<br />
or multiple <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> hosts <strong>and</strong> virtual machines. The Administrator Console needs to<br />
be installed on a separate Windows or Linux server.<br />
Installation on a Windows server:<br />
1. Insert the <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> CD into the Windows server. Open the ‘client_install’<br />
directory on the CD <strong>and</strong> start the installation by double clicking on the<br />
xenserver_client.exe file.<br />
2. Follow through the installation wizard <strong>and</strong> complete the installation.<br />
3. After the installation is complete, open the administrator console from Start->All<br />
Programs->XenSource XenServer->Administrator Console<br />
Installation on a Linux server:<br />
1. Mount the <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> CD on the linux server:<br />
$ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom<br />
2. Navigate to client_install directory:<br />
$ cd /mnt/cdrom/client_install<br />
3. Install the required RPMs:<br />
$ rpm –ivh *.rpm<br />
4. Open the Administrator console:<br />
$ xenserver-client<br />
5.3 Install Virtual Machines<br />
Use Administrator Console to create/configure virtual machines<br />
As mentioned earlier, among many other features, the Administrator Console enables<br />
administrators to create <strong>and</strong> configure virtual machines. Follow the below steps to create<br />
virtual machines on the newly installed <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> Host:<br />
Add Host to Administrator Console<br />
1. Add the <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> Host as a managed host to the Administrator Console. Inside<br />
the Administrator Console interface, select File->Add XenServer Host. Provide the<br />
DNS name or the IP <strong>and</strong> password for the newly installed <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> host.<br />
Check Remember Me to store host information for subsequent administrator console<br />
sessions.<br />
2. After the host has been added, provide the host <strong>with</strong> a valid license key. <strong>Dell</strong><br />
recommends putting all license key files on the server where Administrator Console<br />
is installed. Right click on the host, <strong>and</strong> select License Key. Provide the correct path<br />
to your <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> license file <strong>and</strong> click Apply License. The appropriate<br />
licensing information should appear under the Overview tab.<br />
