Vm-name-label ( RO): Ubuntu 16.04.1 Desktop amd64 Obtain virtual disk’s UUID so we can later update its size: Store desired MAC address into a variable: We also have an option to bind a specific MAC addresses to a VM’s network interface. Name-label ( RW): Pool-wide network associated with eth0 Name-description ( RW): Network on which guests will be assigned a private link-local IP address which can be used to talk XenAPI Name-label ( RW): Host internal management network List, XenServer’s networks and save desired network UUID you wish to attach to your new VM: Next, we deal with necessary networking bits. Next, use cd-list to list all available ISO images and store the relevant ISO image name into a variable, eg.: Using variables will make our further commands more user readable and understandable: Save the output UUID and new VM name into a shell variable for later use. # xe vm-install template='Ubuntu Xenial Xerus 16.04' new-name-label='Ubuntu 16.04.1 Desktop amd64'

Next, install new virtual machine using the above template name: Name-label ( RW): Ubuntu Xenial Xerus 16.04 # xe template-list | grep name-label | grep -i 16.04

In this case we are looking for Ubuntu 16.04: Let’s first search XenServer’s database for a template name. However, the below procedure will fit any decent Linux distribution as along as it is supported by XenServer, meaning that the template for the Linux distribution you would like to install is part of the XenServer’s repertoire. In this guide we will be creating a new Ubuntu Linux based virtual machine. MODERATE Instructions Deploy VM template and gather information Privileged access to XenServer’s command line as well as configured ISO image storage containing an ISO image of the Linux distribution you wish to install. Deployment of XenServer virtual machine using command line.
