Installation and config steps
- Right click on the server click on new VM
- Select your preferred configuration
- Attach installation iso (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 x64.iso)
- Start the VM
- If you face the error after creating a VM, that it cannot boot any ISO or CD Image to install your system, probably the boot order is not correctly set.
- Login to XenServer with secure shell
- Find the VM uuid by
xe vm-list - Check the boot parameter first by
xe vm-param-list uuid=<vm-uuid> |grep HVM-boot - Set the boot order by
xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm-uuid> HVM-boot-policy=BIOS\ order HVM-boot-params:order=dc
- Proceed the Installation process
- Configure apt:
sudo vim /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire::http::proxy "http://user:pass@proxy:port";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://user:pass@proxy:port";
- If you have configured local repository, you can add its address as the proxy.
- Configure network:
$ sudo apt-get purge network-manager
$ sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces
# E.g.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.193
dns-nameserver 10.0.10.9 10.0.10.8
$ sudo ifup eth0
$ sudo ifdown eth0
$ sudo ifup eth0

havij
etc
- Create User with Home Dir and default shell:
for i in `cat /tmp/name`; do useradd -m -d /home/$i -s /bin/bash $i; done
- Create password for each user:
for i in cat /tmp/name; do passwd $i; done
- Configure remote desktop connection
sudo apt-get install xfce4 xrdp
sudo apt-get install xfce4-terminal
sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme-full tango-icon-theme
