The following section describes steps to create a Windows 2003 Server <strong>and</strong> a Red Hat<br />
Enterprise Linux 4 virtual machine.<br />
Creating a Windows 2003 Server virtual machine (VM):<br />
1. Insert the Windows 2003 Server installation CD into the server or connect the OS<br />
ISO <strong>using</strong> DRAC Virtual Media.<br />
2. Select the <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> Host <strong>and</strong> click on Install XenVM button. The virtual<br />
machine configuration tab will appear.<br />
3. Select Windows Server 2003 St<strong>and</strong>ard/Enterprise for the Install From field.<br />
4. Provide a name, say Windows2003EE_VM1, for the VM.<br />
5. Provide a description, say Windows File Share Server, for the VM.<br />
6. Provide the number of Virtual CPUs for the VM. <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> 3.2 allows for a<br />
maximum of 4 virtual CPUs to be exposed to a Windows VM.<br />
7. Provide the amount of memory to be assigned for this virtual machine. You can<br />
allocate a maximum of 8192MB of memory to a Windows VM.<br />
8. Check Start on Server Boot checkbox to automatically start the virtual machine<br />
each time after the <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> host boots.<br />
9. Select the CPU Weightage for the VM. <strong>XenEnterprise</strong> uses CPU Shares mechanism<br />
to prioritize the CPU availability when multiple VMs contend for CPU cycles. For<br />
